Helo Tawatchai,

Sivadee Khap. Zinc Chrome is chromate over zinc . If its bright then the chromate is Blue bright. Zinc Ni alloy is an alloy of Zinc and nickel . Usually for Functional performance the deposit is 12 percent Nickel , the rest zinc and it is chromated in all colors and has very good SST , up to 1000 hours.
