These properties make Tacti-black an excellent fit for electronic and interconnect components where conductivity is an important design consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">Most traditional black electroless nickels are produced by plating a standard electroless nickel deposit and subsequently oxidizing the surface to produce a thin nickel oxide film. This produces a finish that is not conductive and can have significant variability in color and luster from batch to batch. In addition, the oxidized surface, although black, degrades many of the properties of the electroless nickel since it is no longer a pure nickel\/phosphorous alloy but rather an oxide. Tacti-black remains fully conductive since black appearance is formed with an alternative process that does not degrade the conductivity or lubricity of the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">Advanced Plating Technology now offers a high performance Tacti-Black<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0HP+ electroless nickel that offers a darker appearance with enhanced corrosion resistance and dry film lubricity.

font-size: 14px;\">APT\u2019s Tacti-Black<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> black electroless nickel is fully conductive and can be soldered or brazed to make it suitable for interconnect, electronics and EMI grounding\/shielding applications. It provides good temperature stability suitable for service temperatures up to 600F with short duration exposures up to 700F. It provides the perfect deposit uniformity of traditional electroless nickel with typical tolerances of +\/- 0.0001 inches per side. The process is plated \u201ccold\u201d at temperatures below 200F and as such will not affect the hardness of the base material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white; font-size: 14px;\">Advanced Plating Technologies\u2019 black electroless nickel plating is available in both medium and high phosphorus varieties. The level of phosphorus in the coating affects the deposit properties similar to traditional electroless nickel deposits. In addition, post-plate baking can transition the deposit from an amorphous to crystalline structure, which increases the deposit hardness. The typical hardness of the deposit ranges between low 50s Rc as plated and can be heat treated to hardness near 70 Rc. The blacking process results in a lubricous, wear- resistant topcoat this is approximately 1-2um thick. This layer is durable for most applications but in some aggressive metal-on-metal wear cases can wear through to underlying electroless nickel deposit. Therefore, the application of the finish for high wear applications should be evaluated accordingly.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;

The level of phosphorus in the coating affects the deposit appearance and properties similar to traditional electroless nickel deposits. In addition, post-plate baking can transition the deposit from an amorphous to crystalline structure, which greatly increases the deposit hardness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">APT\u2019s Black electroless nickel plating process produces a deposit that is fully conductive and can be soldered or brazed to make it suitable for interconnect, electronics and EMI grounding\/shielding applications. It provides good temperature stability suitable for service temperatures up to 600F with short duration exposures up to 700F. It provides the perfect deposit uniformity of traditional electroless nickel with tolerances of +\/- 0.0001 inches per side possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: white;\">A brief summary of the deposit properties for APT\u2019s black electroless nickel plating is provided below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle; color: white;\">\n<li><strong>Black Electroless Nickel Plating, Tacti-Black\u00ae High Phosphorus (&gt;10% P)<\/strong>: Semi-bright in luster, solderable with proper flux selection, non-magnetic, amorphous deposit structure, highly corrosion resistance with adequate deposit thickness, low as-plated stress, excellent choice for heavy build, Rc 48-55 (as plated), 66-70 (with heat treatment)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black Electroless Nickel Plating, Tacti-Black\u00ae Medium Phosphorus (6-9%P)<\/strong>: Bright in luster, solderable with proper flux selection, magnetic, semi-crystalline deposit structure, good corrosion resistance with adequate deposit thickness, moderate as-plated stress, not recommended for heavy build, Rc 58-62 (as plated), 66-70 (with heat treatment)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black Electroless Nickel Plating, Tacti-Black\u00ae HP+<\/strong>: A proprietary black electroless nickel plating in which a rare earth metal molecular sealer is bonded to the surface which enhances the depth of the black and reduces the luster (brightness) of the finish. With a micro-rough or blasted surface, a nearly matte-black appearance can be achieved. Tacti-Black\u00ae HP+ electroless nickel will have improved dry-film lubricity and corrosion resistance but will have increased contact resistance and is not recommended for soldering or bonding applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;
