What is EZM-2 Treatment?

I am an engineer of plating industry that processes many kinds of platings and standards. We got some drawing from our customer which said that treatment is EZM-2. This is new for us. Could you tell me what exactly it is?

Hi, Joko. It is living dangerously to ask a third party to guess what your customer wants, and don't know the substrate, the post treatment, the processing method, the required thickness, or anything else. I haven't heard of EZM-2 as a plating finish, but short sets of initials and numbers like this tend to be adopted by multiple companies -- so one company's EZM-2 could be entirely different than another's. For example, googling shows 'EZM-2' to be a series of wristwatches, a Bosch security system, a brand name for furniture glides, a model of spectrum analyzer, a small light bulb, a solenoid valve, a special loudspeaker . . .

Please ask your customer for a copy of the specification, or at least what standards-writing body they are referring to! Best of luck.
