Nickel Plating
Nickel plating is known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetic appeal. At Epson Plating, we specialize in both electrolytic and electroless nickel plating to meet a wide range of functional and decorative needs. This process deposits a desired thickness of nickel onto the surface, with finishes available in bright, semi-bright, or matte, depending on your specific requirements.
Electrolytic Nickel Plating
A process where nickel coating is deposited onto a surface using an electric current in a nickel-containing electrolyte bath. This method provides a uniform, durable finish with excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and enhanced surface hardness. Electrolytic nickel plating can be customized with finishes ranging from bright to matte, making it ideal for both functional and decorative applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
Category:
- Nickel Sulfamate
- Wood Nickel
- Watt Nickel
- Black Nickel
- Bright Nickel
- Semi-Bright Nickel
- Teflon Nickel
- Satin Nickel, and more.
Benefits:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Protects components from rust and degradation.
- Enhanced Durability: Provides a wear-resistant surface for longer-lasting parts.
- Customizable Finishes: Offers a range of finishes to suit both functional and aesthetic needs.
- Improved Hardness: Increases surface hardness, improving performance in demanding applications.
Electroless Nickel Plating
This is a chemical process that deposits a uniform layer of nickel onto a substrate without the need for electrical current. In this process, nickel ions are reduced by a chemical reaction in the bath, resulting in a smooth, even coating. Electroless nickel plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and enhanced hardness, making it ideal for applications that require precision and durability.
Category:
- Low Phosphorus: High hardness, excellent corrosion resistance in alkaline environment
- Mid Phosphorus: Bright surface, most common
- High Phosphorus: Superior corrosion resistance, lower porosity, non-magnetic
Benefits:
- Uniform Coating: Deposits an even layer on complex geometries and irregular surfaces.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Protects against rust and environmental degradation.
- Wear Resistance: Offers enhanced durability for high-performance applications.
- Improved Hardness: Increases the hardness of the surface, ideal for wear-prone components.
