Similar to stainless steel in color, Plates uniformly in recesses and cavities (does not build up on edges). Corrosion resistance is good for coatings over .001 thicknesses. Electro less Nickel is used extensively in salvage of miss-machined parts. Also for inside dimensions and irregular shapes (where assembly tolerances need uniformity provided by Electro less process).
Class 2 Baking Schedule to Achieve Hardness
Class 1 As coated.
Class 2 Steel, copper, nickel, cobalt-titanium based alloys and any basis metal not adversely affected by heating as specified.
Class 3 Aluminum alloys non-heat-treatable, and beryllium alloys processedto improve adhesion of nickel deposit.
Class 4 Aluminum alloy, heat-treatable, processed to improve adhesion of the
nickel deposit.
Grade A .001” Min. thickness
Grade B .0005” Min. thickness
Grade C .0015” Min. thickness (for severe corrosion protection).
