Corrosion Protection of Carbon and Stainless Steel Track By Nigel S. Watson, P.E., Engineering Manager Bishop-Wisecarver Corp. Pittsburg, CA info@ (925) 439-8272 Introduction Bishop-Wisecarver employs several types of surface treatment processes to enhance the corrosion resistance of carbon steel and stainless steel Track. These processes are identified below with a brief outline of their characteristics and attributes. Electroless Nickel (EN) Plating Electroless nickel deposits are routinely used in many industries and are approved for use in agriculture, food processing, and medical applications. The EN plated coating generally has a uniform thickness and will coat the entire parts shape. This process offers distinct advantages when plating irregularly shaped objects that include, holes, recesses, internal surfaces, or threads. The thickness of the coating depends on the time that the part is in the plating bath. The characteristics of EN plating are: Uniformity of the deposits, even on complex shapes. EN Deposits are not porous and thus provide a better barrier for corrosion protection, much superior to that of electroplated nickel and hard chromium coatings. Deposit thickness: Coating thickness is usually specified as .0001/ .0003. Greater thicknesses can be applied to increase corrosion resistance, but this may adversely affect its spalling resistance under load. The deposits only generate about 1/5th as much hydrogen absorption as electrolytic nickel and about 1/10th as much as hard chromium. Deposits can be plated with zero stress. Deposits have inherent lubricity and non-galling characteristics, unl
