Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless nickel plating
Electroless nickel plating delivers a remarkably uniform coating, guaranteeing consistent thickness on all surfaces, including angles, corners, and edges. This uniformity is crucial for applications requiring precise tolerances, making it an excellent option for industries where quality and consistency are of utmost importance. This also makes it ideal for complex shapes and intricate designs. Electroless nickel offers excellent corrosion and wear resistance, a smooth finish, and enhanced surface hardness, making it perfect for various industrial applications.
Electroless nickel plating is an outstanding option for improving mold release due to its lubricating properties. This not only creates a smooth surface that allows for the effortless removal of molded components but also helps to decrease friction during the release process. The lubricity provided by electroless nickel plating enables molds to function more efficiently, reducing wear and tear while enhancing the overall quality of the final products. As a result, it is a highly effective solution for industries that depend on precision molding methods.
C&R Hard Chrome specializes in electroless nickel plating for various industries, including automotive for fuel and brake system components, medical, aerospace for landing gear and engine components, industrial equipment parts like pumps, gears, shafts, and gaskets, as well as injection molding parts, food processing, military, electronics including components like male/female adapters and connectors and a wide range of other applications.
Electroless nickel is an excellent choice for high-volume production runs.
