High Phosphorous High phosphorous ENP also offers maximum corrosion resistance to strongly acidic corrosive environments like oil, drilling, coal mining and pickling. High phosphorous is the most popular ENP choice because steel parts often perform like stainless steel. EN does not build up on edges or ends, providing a uniform 100% part thickness and coverage. Micro Plating ENP may allow for substitution of less expensive materials in place of stainless steel alloys or hard-to-machine substrates. Salt spray tests per ASTM B117 repeatedly show that high phosphorous ENP outperforms other EN coatings with 9% or less phosphorous by over 4 to 1.
