Surface treatment on Aluminium - Electroless Nickel plating

Electroless Nickel Plating is the deposition of a nickel-phosphorous alloy onto a metal substrate without the use of an electrical current. The electroless nickel plating process utilizes an autocatalytic chemical reaction to deposit a reliable, repeatable coating of uniform thickness. This uniformity of deposit can, in some cases, eliminate the need for post-plate grinding. Electroless nickel demonstrates excellent corrosion protection, with similar lubricity properties to plated chromium. Electroless nickel effectively coats parts with sharp edges, deep recesses, seams, threads, and complex geometries.
COMMON APPLICATIONS OF ELECTROLESS NICKEL COATINGS:
Aerospace Components: For wear resistance, corrosion protection, chemical resistivity and lubricity on valves, pistons, engine shafts, engine mounts, compressor blades and other flight-critical components.
Electrical Equipment: Due to solderability and conductivity properties.
Packaging & Handling Machinery: Due to wear resistance, cleanliness and attractive finish.
Chemical Manufacturing and Transport Equipment: Due to chemical resistance.
Molds & Dies: Corrosion protection minimizes erosion and abrasion. Low coefficient of friction improves release.
Food Service Equipment: For superior corrosion and wear resistance, attractive finish and cleanliness.
Plastics Manufacturing Equipment: For durability and release properties on injection molds and extrusion dies.
Oil & Gas Components: For corrosion protection in harsh undersea and underground environments for parts such as valves, pumps, pipe fittings and others.
Printing Industry Equipment: For abrasion resistance on conveyance and chemical resistance on printer cylinders.
Automotive Components: For wear protection and corrosion resistance on pistons, cylinders, gears, differential pinion ball shafts, fuel injectors, ball studs, transmission thrust washers, knuckle pins, hose couplings, heat sinks and others.
