The nickle electroplating process can be used to coat nuts, bolts, washers and automotive parts, such as interior components and gas filters. It also provides an effective undercoat for paints, when high corrosion performance is required.
Important features of electroless nickel plating
- Corrosion resistant
- Surface hardness (45 to 55 Hrc)
- Low friction
- Conductivity
- Solderability
- Bright finish
- Uniform coating
Major application of electroless nickel plating :
- Functional engine components,
- Pistons,
- Cylinders,
- Pump spares,
- Valve components,
- Moulds and Dies,
- Most complicated designed machinery parts.
