Nickel-satin plating of SS316
(OP)
Hello All,
I have 2 questions;
1-) Sorry i am not familiar with chemical operations and i have never heard a coating process named "CHEMICAL ETCHED" In drawing it is typing " CHEMICAL ETCHED SATIN" This means satin electroplating ?
2-) Can SS316 be satin-nickel plated?
thank you..

The brightening process for SS is a mixture of hot acids that is rather tough to operate.

Can you comeback with a few more details about your part like size, material and end use.
Yes you can get a nickel/satin finish on SS. Again more information would be helpful.

In fact , i really didnt understand why satin-nickel plating is required on ss316?Do you have an idea?
Brightening process you explained above is the prior operation of electroplating i think?? It is a kind of surface preparation before plating.

Depending on the Nickel plating and how it's applied it is normally harder and doesn't scratch as easily as SS. Probably the main reason for Nickel plate is that it doesn't "fingerprint" as easily SS.
You also need to look at the mill finishes you can get on your SS starting stock, look around and then talk with your supplier.
Here is a starting point.
