Electroless Nickel

In elec­trol­ess nickel coa­ting, all flu­id-wet­ted sur­faces of a com­po­nent are coa­ted almost uni­form­ly by immersi­on in an elec­trol­ess nickel bath. The lay­er has very high cor­ro­si­on and che­mi­cal resis­tance. Through heat tre­at­ment, it can be har­den­ed to appro­xi­m­ate­ly the hard­ness of hard chro­mi­um, making it the ide­al solu­ti­on for cer­tain applications.

Becau­se the lay­er thic­k­ness is almost iden­ti­cal ever­y­whe­re, this coa­ting is also sui­ta­ble for dimen­sio­nal cor­rec­tions on moulds whe­re post-pro­ces­sing is not possible.

Coa­ting can also be appli­ed to alu­mi­ni­um and its alloys.

Application examples

Up to 100 µm elec­trol­ess nickel res­to­res the dimen­si­ons of a new part on a pump com­po­nent of an air­craft tur­bi­ne during repair, wit­hout post-processing.

Lay­er dis­tri­bu­ti­on on a thread. No edge build-up and no “lay­er deple­ti­on” in the depth of the thread.

10 µm elec­trol­ess nickel pro­tects an alu­mi­ni­um com­po­nent from tar­nis­hing, cor­ro­si­on and wear.
