The FCA PS 50014 standard, developed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), an Italian-American automotive company, describes the requirements for the copper-nickel-chrome coating applied to thermoplastic parts during decorative finishing of automobiles.
Commonly applied coating types are:
For example, satin nickel plating processes produce uniform, smooth, satiny surfaces on a variety of plastics, steel, aluminum and copper alloys over a wide range of current densities. As with conventional electrolytic nickel processes, it can be plated with gold, black nickel, silver, chrome, ruthenium or other coatings to achieve a variety of finishes. The exceptional corrosion resistance provided by the multi-layer nickel enables the coating to withstand harsh conditions for exterior and interior applications and meets stringent performance requirements. In addition, the coatings are highly resistant to abrasion. This feature is highly attractive for decorative automotive applications where visual appeal is important and physical use is high.
The trivalent chrome plating process is ideal for automotive decorative applications. It is preferred in decorative automotive applications such as door handles, grilles and exterior trim. This type of chrome plating process creates a shiny decorative layer of calcium chloride resistant chromium over shiny or satin nickel deposits. It is designed to withstand corrosion conditions and passes rigorous automotive testing when used with multi-layer nickel systems.
In today's global market, there is a growing need for high quality decorative chrome plating on plastics. But suppliers must ensure quality to satisfy a wide variety of markets and customers. This can only be achieved with appropriate equipment and process control. Visual appearance, part performance standards, part design, material selection, machining parameters, and equipment limitations are critical.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the scope of FCA PS 50014 standard, copper-nickel-chrome coating test applied to thermoplastic parts during decorative finishing processes of automobiles. also provides services.
