E Zinc Nickel SLOTOLOY ZN 320

Zinc-Nickel
SLOTOLOY ZN 320
Zinc-Nickel SLOTOLOY ZN 320 is a weak acidic, ammonium- and boric acid-free
electrolyte. It’s used for the deposition of silky matt or bright zinc-nickel alloy coatings with a
nickel content of 12 - 15 % by weight.
Zinc-Nickel SLOTOLOY ZN 320 is suitable for both rack (preferably cast iron !) and barrel
application.
The metal content of the electrolyte is maintained in the correct ratio by the application of
separate zinc- and nickel anodes. The electric circuit is separated on the anode side that
means separate rectifiers are used for the particular anode type.
The electrolyte is characterized by a constant alloy composition over a wide current density
range.
By a corresponding chromium(III) containing passivation from our SLOTOPAS series,

transparent, blue and black conversion layers with high corrosion protection can be
produced. For a possible subsequent sealing, products of our SLOTOFIN series are
available.
The information in this data sheet is based on laboratory as well as practical experience.
Figures quoted for operating limits and replenishment quantities are for guidance. Actual
values necessary will depend on the components being plated (material and geometry), their
application and plating plant conditions.
Important:
Please read this instruction carefully prior to the use of the process and carefully follow all the
parameters that have a direct influence on the operation. We reserve the right to make technical
changes. In the interest of safety, please pay attention to the hazard warnings on the labels of the
containers. The minimum shelf life of the products is included on the labels and is also available in the
appropriate Quality Assurance (QA03).
The current IMDS number of the layer deposited from the process is available on the internet at
www.schloetter.com/downloads.
For the storage of chemical products the TRGS 510 must be followed.
If the additives used in this process contain a SVHC-substance, then this will be specified in
the corresponding Material Safety Data Sheet, section 15.

3.0 PROCESS SEQUENCE
3.1 Pre-treatment
The parts are treated as usual according to the basic material. Our technical field service and
our service department would be pleased to provide you with information about suitable
process sequences respectively -methods as well as suitable products from our
pre-treatment programme.

3.2 Process sequence
Base material steel:
 immersion degreasing
 rinsing
 pickling
 rinsing
 electrolytic degreasing, anodic
 rinsing
 neutralizing in diluted hydrochloric acid
 rinsing
 zinc-nickel plating
 rinsing (see point 3.3)
 passivating
 rinsing
 optionally: sealing
 drying
Our service department would be pleased to provide you with information about the specific
pre-treatment of cast iron.
3.3 Post-treatment
The first static rinse after the zinc-nickel electrolyte is acidified with hydrochloric acid to
pH 3 - 4. This will prevent from the adhesion of electrolyte residues on the surface. This
would lead to problems in the passivating process.
3.4 Stripping
Racks and rework are stripped in non-inhibited 1 : 1 hydrochloric acid solution. Inhibitors may
cause a dark, sweepable film, which, in general, cannot be removed completely by anodic
degreasing. As a second step, the parts must be briefly treated in a nickel stripper
(e.g. BATH 01033-E Stripper L or BATH 01039-E Stripper N 10).

4.0 MAINTENANCE AND FUNCTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL BATH COMPONENTS
4.1 Metal content

The metal content of the electrolyte must be monitored analytically at regular intervals and
should be in the following concentration ranges:
Zinc: 28 - 35 g/l
Nickel: 28 - 35 g/l
The total metal content should be 60 - 70 g/l. Otherwise, there’s a risk of burnings in the high
current density area.
In order to get a coating with a nickel content of 12 - 15 % by weight, the zink : nickel ratio
must be adjusted to 1.0 - 1.2 : 1.
To increase the zinc content by 1 g/l, 2.08 g/l of zinc chloride are needed.
To increase the nickel content by 1 g/l, 4.05 g/l of nickel chloride x 6 H2O are needed.
At insignificant deviations from the optimum zinc : nickel concentration ratio, a correction can
be made by a change of the zinc : nickel current ratio.
NB
It should be ensured that a highest possible quality (> 97 %) of the zinc chloride applied is
used. The content of heavy metals should be as low as possible. The current product
qualities respectively -specifications recommended by us can be found
on the internet at www.schloetter.com/downloads.
Furthermore, salts (also potassium chloride and potassium acetate) with anticaking agents or
other parting agents should generally not be used. In case of doubt please contact our
service department or technical field service.
4.2 Chloride
The chloride concentration is co-responsible for a good alloy- and metal distribution.
Therefore, it should be monitored at regular intervals and maintained in the close range of
160 - 190 g/l. An addition of 10 g of potassium chloride corresponds to 4.7 g of chloride, i.e.
in order to increase the chloride concentration by 1 g/l, 2.1 g/l of potassium chloride must be
added.
4.3 Potassium acetate

The concentration of potassium acetate is monitored at regular intervals and maintained in
the range of 50 - 70 g/l. Potassium acetate extends the current density range upwards and
contributes to buffer the pH value.
4.4 Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 321

The Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 321 contains complexing agents and buffer substances. It
ensures an even alloy distribution over the entire applicable current density range and at the
same time ensures a stable operation of the system.

The Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 322 produces as a brightening agent a fine-crystalline, satin-
matt deposition and supports the optimal alloy distribution. At the same time the additive
improves the covering power in the low current density ranges. The formation of pores will
also be prevented by this additive.

The Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 323 operates as a brightener in barrel electrolytes and enables
so the deposition of even, semi-bright to bright alloy layers.
In case of a decrease of the degree of brightness, Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 323 can be
added in increments of 0.25 ml/l. Overdoses have to be avoided, since they have a negative
effect on the ductility of the layer.
The dosage of Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 323 will be started only after an electrolyte load of
approx. 5 - 10 Ah/l. It’s not required for new make-up.
NB
We generally recommend operating barrel electrolytes without Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 323
→ danger of tinsel formation.

The Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 324 acts as a brightener in rack electrolytes and enables so the
deposition of even, bright alloy layers.
In case of a decrease of the degree of brightness, Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 324 can be
added in increments of 0.1 - 0.2 ml/l. The total concentration shouldn’t exceed 0.7 ml/l !
Excess dosing has to be avoided, since they have a negative impact on the ductility of the
layer. Overdoses may result in the formation of tinsel.

When used in a rack installation, applicating Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 324, a milky-hazy
deposition despite of correct concentration of Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 322 occurs, then it
can be corrected by an addition of 0.5 - 1.0 ml/l Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 326.

Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 327 improves the covering power in the low current density range
and increases the fine grain of the deposition. It can help to improve the appearance and
adhesion in plating of critical components. Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 322 already contains the
active component of Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 327 (1 ml/l of Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 322
contains 0.125 ml/l of Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 327).
Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 327 is added in cases when despite of correct replenishment of
Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 322 a decrease of the concentration has been found. Especially
when there’s a higher iron content in the electrolyte, extra additions of Additive
SLOTOLOY ZN 327 can become necessary.
Caution: Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 327 is diluted with deionised water at a ratio of 1 : 1 prior
to the corrective additions. If a continuous dosing with Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 327 should
be necessary, it can be added as a mixture of additives with
Additive SLOTOLOY ZN 322. The range for a continuous dosing is approx.
0.15 - 0.3 l/10 kAh
4.9 pH value
The pH value is monitored at regular intervals and maintained in the range of 5.3 - 5.6, an
optimum 5.5.
raise pH value ↑: KOH, 10 % (110 g/l aqueous)
decrease pH value ↓: diluted HCl (1 : 1) aqueous
If necessary it’s under current stirring slowly raised ↑ by KOH, 10 % (110 g/l aqueous) in
order to avoid flocculation.
An automated control of the pH value with acid dosage is recommended to increase the
process stability.
4.10 Operating temperature

The acceptable operating temperature range is 28 - 32 °C. Due to the strong influence of the
operating temperature on the alloy composition it has to be taken care on an exact
temperature control and a good electrolyte agitation. The nickel co-deposition is increased by
raising operating temperature.
NB
The operating temperature shouldn’t drop below 25 °C, since crystallizations may form.
There’s normally a re-dissolution at operating temperature.

6.0 EFFLUENT
Legal regulations must be observed for disposal of the Bright Zinc SLOTOLOY ZN 320.
Different regulations normally apply for the additives and the ready-made electrolyte. Please
refer to section 13 of the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet for disposal code and
recommendations.
The following detoxification sequence is only considered to be an aid:
Waste waters from Zink-Nickel SLOTOLOY ZN 320 also contain a marginal content of
complex bound metal ions. For rinse water treatment a pH value of 6 has to be adjusted with
diluted sodium hydroxide. The metal ions are subsequently precipitated with e.g.
Precipitant AW 10 and filtered.

7.0 SAFETY
Reasonable care is required when handling chemical products. Only personnel specially
trained on working with chemicals should be deployed with their handling.
EC Material Safety Data Sheets must be made available to all personnel dealing with the
chemicals to ensure they have all required information about product composition, hazards
identification, first-aid measures, handling and storage, exposure controls, toxicological and
ecological information, etc. It is required to ensure the supply and use of suitable protective
clothing and -equipment.
The user must verify the designated purpose of the electrolyte. Previous experience has shown that not all metal
surfaces are suitable for a trouble-free electroplating.
The above mentioned data are made according to our best knowledge. Consistent operation of the working solution requires appropriate
maintenance. Zinc-Nickel SLOTOLOY ZN 320 is a process of Dr.-Ing. Max Schlötter GmbH & Co KG. it can only be operated with the
products described in this technical data sheet. Use of other chemicals (also partly) will impair quality and invalidates our service- and
quality commitments (quality assurance).
