SURFACE FINISHING
Electro-less Nickel Plating
Coating of Nickel on the surface provides a shiny appearance, excellent hardness, abrasive, wear, and corrosion-resistance to the substrate material.
Introduction
Electro-less Nickel plating is a popular chemical plating process from a solution containing Nickel on the surface of various metals such as aluminum, Steel, copper, tungsten, polymer, and many more.
Coating of Nickel on the surface provides a shiny appearance, excellent hardness, abrasive, wear, and corrosion-resistance to the substrate material. The electro-less nickel plating substrate must be machined with roughness not more than Ra 1.6µm. This approach will reduce the Machining marks but might still be visible. This method allows plating thicknesses of up to 5 microns while maintaining an acceptable tolerance for the parts.
