Electroless nickel
Electroless nickel is a nickel phosphorus alloy coating, that can be used in three ways; for high abrasion resistance, soldering and electronics and high corrosion protection.
Properties: | Electroless nickel is a nickel phosphorus alloy commonly divided into low-phosphorus (high abrasion resistance), medium-phosphorus (soldering and electronics), and high-phosphorus (high corrosion protection). Plated electroless nickel has a hardness of 450 HV100. After being heat treated to 250oC the hardness increases to 650 HV100. |
Appearance: | Light, matte, or shiny surface similar to stainless steel. |
Thickness of layer: | 5 - 50 µm with the possibility of higher coating thickness.
|
Base material: | Electroless nickel may be plated on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper, brass, aluminium, and sintered parts. |
Application: | Fittings, valves, hydraulic components, electric motor parts, transmission and pump parts, sprocket wheels, wearing parts on packing machines and electronic and medicinal equipment. May be partially plated on e.g. bearing surfaces. |
