Bright Nickel Plating is usually used in automotive, appliance, and sanitary industries for both decorative and functional purposes. It provides a mirror-like finish with a white color that has a slight yellow tint. The plating contains sulfur (0.06%-0.08%), which lowers its potential, making it act as the anode layer during corrosion. When exposed to corrosive media, the anode corrodes first, shifting the corrosion direction from vertical to horizontal, preventing deep corrosion and significantly slowing the overall corrosion rate.
