Electroless nickel plating are used to provide protection from wear and abrasion, resistance against corrosion, and add hardness to parts of all conditions. It's commonly used in coatings applications in engineering, aerospace, oil and gas, construction, electronics and several others.
Advantages of Electroless Nickel Plating
- Excellent corrosion resistance.
- Excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
- Good ductility, lubricity and electrical properties.
- High hardness, especially when heat-treated.
- Good solderability.
- Even and uniform thickness even down deep bores and recesses, and at corners and edges.
Aluminum is the most common metal that benefits from electroless nickel plating, due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent machinability, and low cost.
