Nickel plating

 

Nickel forms an excellent protective layer that protects metal against rust and other corrosion.  Nickel plating offers very good corrosion resistance at a minimum layer thickness of  60 micron, but is much softer than a chrome layer. Nickel plating is often used as a substrate for chrome plating. The reinforcing combination of nickel and chrome gives your product excellent corrosion resistance and perfect sliding characteristics.

Technical specifications

​

There are different types of nickel layers depending on the destination of your product. The layer is determined by the mechanical pre-treatment in combination with the type of nickel bath.

 

Nickel plating process

​

Nickel plating is an electrolytic process. And in this proces a piece of metal will be dipped in a nickel liquid bath. In the next step, we supply the piece of metal with electricity (with a higher voltage and a relatively low amperage), which creates a process. In this proces nickel particles attach themselves on the metal.
