Nickel Coating



Chemical nickel plating process is a chemical, as opposed to electroplating, requires no power supply for the deposit. Nickel is deposited on the surface through a process of a metal "autocatalytic", which deposits the coating of uniform density on the surface being plated.

Electro-less nickel plating process has many advantages over "electrolytic processes in a technical environment. The coating can be used where a hard, corrosion resistant surface is required. A major advantage of this process is that it is possible to cover the entire surface of a homogeneous matter, including internal, as opposed to electrolytic processes which have difficulty paying for the areas behind and internal, and can result in an excessive accumulation of points, angles, etc.

This may represent a considerable savings compared to 'Hard Chrome "(an electrolytic process). To create an inner layer by electrolytic methods requires the use of anodes of complex devices are usually expensive to produce and set up. With coating of nickel, the coating does not distort the dimensions. Typically, the element is machined to a tolerance of layer thickness and require no machining after finding the required dimensions (such as hard chrome required).

Valves, hoses, heat sinks, the trees, drilling equipment, rollers, dies and molds, tools, pumps, equipment and more. Wherever there is need to prevent corrosion, reduce wear and improve the hardness and durability.

Think of all the surfaces of the element. Possibility of a smooth surface tolerance. "Selective" coating (only certain surfaces of an element) is possible through masking selected surfaces, but it will affect the cost. Be as clear as possible on the surface quality and performance you expect in the finished product. Contact your finish over metal substrates, this process is appropriate. (* May not be suitable for some applications in food processing)

Nickel coating is not a new process. Until recently, was primarily engaged in the electronics industry. Metal Finishing industry throughout the world to combine a strong increase in demand for electro less coating. You need to have information about the benefits and applications of these coatings, or the danger of falling behind! You can start the countdown links to a couple of case studies BELOW.
