While most finishes provide either functional or aesthetic benefits, nickel chrome finishing combines the best of both worlds, making it a highly sought—and highly complex—finishing process. This finish provides functionality and cosmetic benefits to create a solution that is decorative and protective—an ideal finish for aluminum.

Nickel chrome can be applied to a variety of aluminum products, including wheels, exhaust components and any other surface where wear, corrosion resistance and exceptional cosmetics are required. Layers of nickel create an effective barrier against harmful elements while a chrome exterior layer gives the product a shine and luster that appeals to the eye. The process may seem simple, however the intricacies of this application make it quite difficult to successfully achieve.

Aluminum is one of the most difficult materials to plate because it is very soft and can easily etch if the process is not followed precisely. If etching occurs, the product becomes scrap metal. So, if not done properly, this process can be very expensive.

At Lincoln Industries, getting the process right is the result of the right people working the right process. The application of nickel chrome on aluminum involves a fully integrated, carefully executed process that ensures the optimal performance of the end product. To achieve this, Lincoln Industries has the experience and capabilities to control quality at every step of the process. The company’s Integrated Finishing Services™ philosophy provides expertise in product design, substrate selection and preparation, coating application, packaging and delivery. Customers don’t just get a product with outstanding nickel chrome finishing; they get the absolute best product in premium condition.
