(Main)Corrosion protection of metals - Electrodeposited coatings of nickel, nickel plus chromium, copper plus nickel and copper plus nickel plus chromium
Corrosion protection of metals - Electrodeposited coatings of nickel, nickel plus chromium, copper plus nickel and copper plus nickel plus chromium
This EN specifies requirements for nickel, nickel plus chromium, copper plus nickel and copper plus nickel plus chromium electrodeposited coatings applied to iron and steel, to zinc alloys and to copper and copper alloys to provide an attractive appearance and corrosion resistance. The nickel and copper plus nickel coatings without chromium topcoats that are specified in this EN are suitable for applications in which tarnishing is prevented by rubbing or handling in service, or by the use of topcoats other than chromium.
Korrosionsschutz von Metallen - Galvanische Nickel-Überzüge und Nickel-Chrom-Überzüge, Kupfer-Nickel-Überzüge und Kupfer-Nickel-Chrom-Überzüge
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an galvanisch abgeschiedene Nickel-, Nickel-Chrom-, Kupfer-Nickel- und Kupfer-Nickel-Chromüberzüge auf Eisen-, Zink- und Kupferwerkstoffen fest, um ein einwandfreies Aussehen und Korrosionswiderstand zu gewährleisten. Die Nickel- und Kupfer-Nickel-Überzüge ohne Chromüberzug, die in dieser Europäischen Norm festgelegt sind, sind für Anwendungen brauchbar, bei denen ein Anlaufen durch Reiben oder Handhabung bei der Benutzung verhindert wird, oder wenn andere Decküberzüge außer Chrom angewandt werden sollen.
Protection contre la corrosion des métaux - Revêtements électrolytiques de nickel, nickel plus chrome, cuivre plus nickel et cuivre plus nickel plus chrome
La présente norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques des dépôts électrolytiques de nickel, de nickel plus chrome, de cuivre plus nickel et de cuivre plus nickel plus chrome appliqués sur le fer, l'acier, les alliages de zinc, le cuivre et les alliages de cuivre, pour leur conférer un aspect agréable et une bonne résistance à la corrosion.
