Nickel Crowns (1 pound | 99.9+% Pure)

Our Nickel Crowns are Xstrata D Crowns® electrolytic nickel is the world’s most popular activated anode material with a unique shape that makes it ideal for plating with baskets. Activation is imparted by code-positing a small, controlled amount of sulfur with the nickel during the electrowining process. D crowns electro-lytic nickel has all the advantages associated with enhanced anode activity....smooth, uniform disso-lution;100% anode efficiency in all nickel plating solutions, even those without chlorides; absence of metallic residues, and low dissolution potentials at high current densities. The lower resistance to current flow compared to sulfur-free nickel accounts for significant power and cost savings in the plating shop. The sulfur in this product does not enter the solution but forms an insoluble nickel sul-fide residue that is retained in the anode bag where it acts to remove unwanted copper impurities from the plating solution. The advantages associated with its shape...improved settling in baskets, safe handling, improved flowability compared to squares of various sizes...combined with its en-hanced anodic activity have made this versatile product the world’s most popular activated anode material.
