PREVENT CORROSION ON THE MOST INTRICATE PARTS
Electroless nickel (EN) coating, also known as autocatalytic nickel plating, is a type of coating that is applied to metal surfaces by a chemical deposition process rather than an electroplating process. It involves immersing the metal part in a solution containing nickel ions and a reducing agent, which causes the nickel ions to deposit onto the surface of the metal through a chemical reaction.
EN coatings provide several benefits, including improved wear resistance, increased hardness, and enhanced corrosion resistance. The coating also provides a uniform thickness over the entire surface of the metal part, even on complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas.
EN coatings are commonly used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing. They are used to improve the performance and durability of parts such as gears, bearings, moulds, and medical devices. EN coatings can also be used for decorative purposes, as they can provide a bright, reflective finish similar to that of chrome plating.
