Nickel plating with zoning

electrolesscast ironISO 9001

The Electroless nickel plating is an anti-corrosion surface treatment which also protects your mechanical parts from wear. This process allows the treatment of complex-shaped parts. The electroless nickel deposit will be perfectly uniform, to the nearest micron, even in the recesses or the most inaccessible bores of your part. We can modulate the mechanical characteristics of the surface treatment according to your wishes and so favour rather hardness or rather corrosion resistance. Unique in Europe, our line is fully automatic. It is able to treat different materials simultaneously thanks to its “intelligent” piloting. It offers significant production flow for large series but will also adapt to small series. The maximum nickel-plating capacities are: 2000 x 1000 x 800 mm, 1.3 tons. Electroless nickel technical sheet To help you in your choice of nickel and heat treatment, see our technical sheet which reviews all the characteristics of each of them. The different types of plating The « As plated » provides simple and durable anti-corrosion protection to maintain your parts over time. It is intended for applications without severe mechanical constraint. Followed by a slight heat treatment of degassing, electroless nickel will be more adherent and less fragile. The “hardened”, after a heat treatment at 300°C, will substantially increase the hardness of nickel by maintaining a very correct corrosion resistance. It is particularly suitable for parts subjected to friction wear. This treatment will therefore enhance the life of your parts for aggressive mechanical applications.
