Coating thickness
Nominal thickness, as required	Tolerance
3÷75µm	±10% (min. ±2µm)
Uniform thickness over the entire external and internal surface
Absence of tip effect typical of galvanic coatings

Aesthetic appearance
Bright stainless steel metallic appearance that reproduces the morphology of the machined part
Option of matt finish (sand blasted, shoot peened, or grit blasted)
Hardening treatments may result in discolouration of the coating: • 260-280°C, white colour with possible yellow stains • 340°C, iridescent blue-red colouring

Hardness
The surface hardness of Niplate 600 varies in relation to the hardening heat treatment carried out after deposition of the coating.
Hardness value	Heat treatment
700±50HV	Hydrogen embrittlement relief at 160-180°C for 4h
800±50HV	Hardening at 260 -280°C for 8h
1000±50HV	Hardening at 340°C for 4h

Wear resistance
Niplate 600 offers a high level of wear resistance, depending on the heat treatment carried out.
Guideline wear value, TWI-CS10	Heat treatment
The lower the number, the higher the performance – ASTM B733 X1 – Taber Abraser wear test – CS 10 abrasive wheels – 1 kg load
16±2 mg / 1000 cycles	Hydrogen embrittlement relief at 160-180°C for 4h
12±2 mg / 1000 cycles	Hardening at 260 -280°C for 8h
9±2 mg / 1000 cycles	Hardening at 340°C for 4h

Friction coefficient
Dynamic dry friction coefficient value
	0.4 ÷ 0.6 depending on the antagonist material

Corrosion resistance
The corrosion protection of Niplate 600, assessed by means of the salt spray test, depends on the substrate material, machining and finish of the part, and the applied film thickness.
Guideline corrosion resistance values	Substrate material
NSS to ISO 9227 – Thickness 20 μm – corroded surface < 5%
≥1000 hours	Brass
≥180 hours	Carbon steel
≥240 hours	Aluminium 6082

Chemical resistance
For applications requiring high chemical resistance, Niplate 500 should be used in place of Niplate 600. Niplate 600 anyway offers a good level of chemical resistance, especially in alkaline environments.
Chemical compatibility
Chemical compatibility values are referred exclusively to the coating and do not define the corrosion protection of the substrate material. The overall performance of the coated part is highly dependent also on the type and quality of the substrate material. The actual environmental resistance must anyway be tested in the field.
