Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 1458 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic
coatings, Subcommittee SC 3, Electrodeposited coatings and related finishes.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1458:1988), which has been technically revised.
Annexes B, C and D form a normative part of this International Standard. Annex A is for information only.

Introduction
Decorative, electrodeposited nickel coatings with and without copper undercoats and without chromium top-coats
are suitable for applications in which tarnishing is prevented by rubbing or handling in service or by the use of
topcoats other than chromium. They are also suitable for those applications where tarnishing is of no importance.
Corrosion resistance depends on the type and thickness of the coatings. In general, multilayer nickel coatings
provide better protection than single-layer nickel coatings of equal thickness.

Metallic coatings — Electrodeposited coatings of nickel
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for nickel electrodeposited coatings that are applied to iron and
steel, to zinc alloys, to copper and copper alloys, and to aluminium and aluminium alloys to provide an attractive
appearance and corrosion resistance. In addition, it specifies requirements for copper plus nickel coatings applied to
iron and steel, and to zinc alloys. Coating designations that differ in thickness and type are specified and guidance is
given in selecting the coating appropriate to the service conditions to which the coated product will be exposed.
This International Standard does not specify the surface condition required by the basis metal prior to the coating
process, and is not applicable to coatings on sheet strip or wire in the non-fabricated form nor to threaded fasteners
or coil springs.
Requirements for nickel plus chromium and copper plus nickel plus chromium coatings for metallic substrates are
given in ISO 1456. Requirements for similar coatings for plastic materials are given in ISO 4525. ISO 4526 and
ISO 6158 specify requirements for coatings of nickel and chromium, respectively, for engineering purposes.

g) the positions on the significant surface for rack or contact marks, where such marks are unavoidable (see 7.1);
h) sampling methods and acceptance levels (see clause 8);
i) the tensile strength of the steel and any requirement for pre- or post-treatments of iron or steel to reduce the risk
of hydrogen embrittlement, as well as hydrogen embrittlement test methods (see 7.8 and 7.9).
4.2 Additional information
The following additional information may be provided by the purchaser, when appropriate:
a) any requirements for STEP testing (see 7.6);

5 Service condition number
The service condition number is used by the purchaser to specify the degree of protection required, as related to the
severity of the conditions to which a product is to be subjected, in accordance with the following scale:
3 - severe
2 - moderate
1 - mild
Typical service conditions for which the various service condition numbers are appropriate are listed in annex A.
6 Designation
6.1 General
The coating designation is a means of specifying the basis metal and the types and thicknesses of coatings
appropriate for each service condition (see Table 1 to Table 4 for various substrates) and comprises the following:
a) the term, “Electroplated coating”, the number of this International Standard, i.e. ISO 1458, followed by a hyphen;
b) the chemical symbol for the basis metal (or for the principal metal if an alloy) followed by a stroke, as follows:
Fe/ for iron and steel;
Zn/ for zinc alloys;
Cu/ for copper and copper alloys;
Al/ for aluminium and aluminium alloys.
c) the chemical symbol for copper (Cu), if copper or brass containing more than copper is used as an
undercoat;
d) a number indicating the minimum local thickness, in micrometres, of the copper coating where applicable;
e) a letter indicating the type of copper, where applicable (see 6.2);
f) the chemical symbol for nickel (Ni);
g) a number indicating the minimum local thickness of the nickel coating in micrometres;
h) a letter designating the type of nickel coating (see 6.3);
i) if a topcoat is to be applied over the nickel, its chemical symbol and a number indicating its minimum local
thickness shall be appended to the coating designation. If the topcoat is an electrodeposited alloy, the chemical
symbols of the principal alloy constituents shall be used. If the topcoat is a precious metal, e.g., gold or silver, the
chemical symbol shall be followed by a number in parenthesis giving the minimum content of the precious metal
in the topcoat, expressed as mass percent to one decimal point.

NOTE An initial copper coating, to thick, is normally applied to iron and
steel from a copper cyanide solution before electroplating with ductile acid copper to
prevent immersion deposition and poorly adherent deposits. The initial copper
coating (copper strike) may not be substituted for any portion of the ductile acid
copper specified in Table 1.

NOTE Zinc alloys must first be electroplated with copper to ensure adhesion of the
subsequent nickel coatings. The initial layer of copper is usually electrodeposited
from a copper cyanide solution but cyanide-free alkaline copper solutions are also
being used. The minimum thickness of the initial copper layer is to . For
articles of complex shape, the minimum copper thickness may need to be increased
to about to ensure adequate coverage on low-current density areas outside
the significant surfaces. Ductile, levelling copper electrodeposited from acid solutions
is usually applied over the initial cyanide copper deposit when the specified copper
thickness is greater than .

6.2 Type of copper coating
The type of copper is indicated by the following symbol:
a for ductile, levelling copper electrodeposited from acid-type solutions.
6.3 Types of nickel coatings
The type of nickel coating shall be designated by the following symbols:
b for nickel electrodeposited in the fully bright condition;
p for dull or semi-bright nickel which has been mechanically polished;
s for dull, semi-bright or satin nickel that shall not have been mechanically polished;
d for double- or triple-layer coatings, the requirements for which are given in Table 5.
6.4 Example of a designation
A coating on steel comprising (minimum) ductile, levelling copper (Cu20a) plus (minimum) bright nickel
(Ni30b) is designated as follows:
Electroplated coating ISO 1458 - Fe/Cu20a Ni30b
The above coating electroplated with minimum gold having a minimum gold content of by mass
[Au(98,0)2] is designated as follows:
Electroplated coating ISO 1458 - Fe/Cu20a Ni30b Au(98,0)2
NOTE For ordering purposes, the detailed product specification should not only comprise the designation, but should also
include clear written statements of other requirements that are essential for the serviceability of the particular product (see
