It means that the electrical compatibility is not guaranteed between Nickel PTFE and Cadmium for long salt exposure, which is not the case for Zinc Nickel (electrical potential close to Cadmium). 4 Nickel PTFE (T code) production processes complex and expensive Nickel PTFE requires specially manufactured high tolerance machined parts (special requirement on surface roughness) as the thicker plating is not compatible with standard machined parts. * These special machined parts lead to a higher cost and quality risk (mixing very similar parts and special care in case of outsourcing). * Therefore, the high thickness of nickel PTFE means a long deposit time and also a more expensive process. * The lifetime of the chemical mixture is half than an electrolytic nickel or nickel alloy (Zinc Nickel) mixture. 5 Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum (P code) very complex and unique deposition process Very complex and explosive process which requires a building with special containment facility and not available in standard plating shops. Main limitation are the following: * Flammable and explosive solvent which requires inert atmosphere. * Highly skilled worker (expertise and training) * Specific care for handling and storage of mixture in a separate building. 6 ASTM standards These standards are defined to allow a reliable quality level of plating process with multisourcing option. Nickel PTFE (T code) and Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum (P code) are not defined by ASTM industrial standards. 7 Cycles of durability, limitation for Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum (P code) Performance limitation has been raised in 38999 salt spray by tests against Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum: * Galling: abrasive wear of Ni-plated EMI band leads to generate conductive particles with a potential risk of short circuiting the contacts. * Requires use of lubricants - limited effectiveness, risk of lower electrical continuity. 8 Thin Nickel PTFE (T code) salt spray resistance Thin Nickel PTFE (T code) could require Cr VI to meet corrosion performance and consequently not comply with ROHS limit. This is one way to heal pores at defect sites of the primary parts and to decrease the production cost of the thick Nickel PTFE plating (see note 4). 9 Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum (P code) and Chromium VI Chromium VI is required to meet high corrosion performances. 10 Thickness control of Nickel PTFE layer (Thin and Thick Layer) There is no standard in line equipment to control the homogeneity of PTFE concentration within the plating material and the only way to control the PTFE concentration is achieved with complex lab equipment such as Scanning Electron Microscope (PTFE is a non conductive material). There is consequently a strong limitation for in line process control and ability to outsource. It means that the lack of control associated with the risk of non homogeneity of the PTFE concentration could lead to an uncontrolled dormant failure and a rapid corrosion. 11 Environment friendly, limitation for Nickel PTFE (T code) The average bath lifetime of the chemical nickel PTFE is half that of electroless nickel and 10 times less than nickel alloy (zinc nickel) bath. This leads to a higher waste volume of nickel pollution. Furthermore, the waste toxicity of electroless nickel or nickel alloys is higher than the electrolytic process: * Cadmium * Nickel electroless Toxicity * Nickel PTFE level * Electrolytic zinc nickel In addition, the PTFE material is toxic and indestructible. Some PTFE suppliers might stop their PTFE production after 2013 (ie. Dupont) 12 Nickel PTFE (T code) is potentially hazardous to human health The Nickel PTFE material is recognized as toxic and indestructible.Most of the experts are considering PFOA (used in PTFE) a likely human carcinogen. This was also proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 13 Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum (P code) process is very hazardous to safety For Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum, production is a very high risk for human safety due to: * Flammable and explosive solvent which requires inert atmosphere. * High skilled of workers necessary (expertise and training). * Specific care for handling and storage of mixture in a separate building. * Pure Electrodeposited Aluminum is considered a dangerous explosive process for people involved in the plating process. 14 De-icing fluid (contains potassium acetate) SOURIAU Zinc Nickel is compatible with de-icing fluids containing potassium acetate.
