Electroless Nickel

Precision Electroless Nickel for Complex Geometry and Hardness

Electroless Nickel (EN) is a chemical plating process that does not require an electric current. This results in a perfectly uniform coating thickness, regardless of the part’s shape or internal cavities.

Key Performance Advantages

  • Uniform Deposit: Coats internal threads, bores, and complex recesses with the exact same thickness as flat surfaces.
  • Exceptional Hardness: Can be heat-treated to reach hardness levels comparable to hard chrome.
  • Superior Corrosion/Chemical Defense: Provides an airtight barrier against caustic chemicals, salts, and acids.
  • Self-Lubricating: Reduces friction in moving mechanical assemblies.

Typical Applications

  • Valves, pistons, and pump components for the oil and gas industry.
  • Molds and dies for plastic injection molding.

Trusted by industry professionals for parts that cannot fail in the field.
