Electroless Nickel Plating: Superior Corrosion Protection
Raw metals other than precious metals can easily oxidize and corrode over time when exposed to various environmental conditions and corrosive applications. The proper design of any component must begin with a surface engineering evaluation to ensure that the product will function reliably over the intended service life. Even in relatively mild service applications, corrosion can result in functional issues and shortfalls. Electroless nickel plating can provide a robust solution to corrosive attack across a range of corrosive mechanisms including galvanic corrosion, chemical attack and erosion. Electroless nickel plating (EN) can be applied to a wide range of basis metals including steel, copper, brass and aluminum alloys. Electroless Nickel plating is currently utilized to promote corrosion protection performance across a diverse range of industries including heavy equipment, oil & gas, power transmission & distribution, automotive, marine and railway to name a few.
