Standard carbon steel barrier coating

Standard carbon steel barrier coating

(OP)
Hello!

I am researching a product improvement application that will require adhering a (rubber foam) item to a surface of a conventional nail clipper. In researching the adhesive/process most applicable, I wanted to find out what specifically is the standard anti-oxidant coating used in this application. Zinc galvanization is my theory, but I was hoping to confirm this. Hope someone knows this off the top of their heads.

Thank you!

RE: Standard carbon steel barrier coating

My nail clippers appears to be chrome plated. The plating is pretty cheap though; it doesn't keep the clippers from rusting in the shower.

SD is correct, nail clippers are Cr plated.

RE: Standard carbon steel barrier coating

Normally Cr plating,some do blueing or blackening .

Great. Thank you everyone! Any suggestions on permanent adhesion of foam to it? Trying to use cyanoacrylate (or any one-part, I suppose) if it can be helped. Got suggestions from 'The Handbook of Rubber Bonding' but if there are any more, would be glad to hear.

Thanks again!
