Electroless Nickel Plating Services
Electroless nickel plating is an autocatalytic process that deposits a uniform layer of nickel-phosphorus alloy onto metal surfaces without the use of electricity. It provides excellent corrosion resistance, wear protection, and surface uniformity—especially on complex geometries.
Types of Electroless Nickel Plating & Benefits
- Low Phosphorus (2–5%)
- High hardness and wear resistance
- Excellent solderability and conductivity
- Best for applications needing abrasion resistance
- *** Please call for availability ***
- Mid Phosphorus (6–9%)
- Balanced performance: good corrosion and wear resistance
- Most commonly used for general industrial applications
- Uniform coating even on intricate shapes
- High Phosphorus (10–13%)
- Maximum corrosion resistance—even in acidic or marine environments
- Non-magnetic properties
- Ideal for electronics, aerospace, and chemical processing
Applications
Electroless nickel plating is widely used in:
- Aerospace & Automotive
- Oil & Gas Equipment
- Medical Devices
- Electronics & Connectors
- Industrial Machinery
