Electroless Nickel Plating
What is it?
Electroless nickel plating is the process of coating a metal such as mild or stainless steel so that the life of the part is substantially extended, including one process that gives mild steel corrosion resistance in salt water for up to 30 years.
What are the benefits?
There are many benefits to Electroless nickel plating:
- Corrosion resistance - nickel plating will extend the life of everything it coats. This means that sectors with harsh environments such as marine, oil and gas and defence can reduce their cost of repair and replacement parts - including a massive saving on downtime.
- Uniform coating - electroless nickel plating has a completely uniform coating, and therefore is a perfect solution for critical high-end engineering items such as defence, healthcare, automotive and aerospace.
- Cost-effective - electroless nickel plating is much cheaper than you would imagine. With 5 dedicated lines we have genuine economies of scale, which in turn is reflected in our quotations.
- Wear resistance - electroless nickel plating when in association with an appropriate heat treatment can be hardened up to 950vhn. Because it is also lubricious by nature this combination makes it an ideal coating in areas where friction and wear are issues.
Why NiTEC?
- We are one of the UK's largest electroless nickel plating specialists.
- We have tanks up to 7 metres in length and lifting capacity of up to 20 metric tonnes. These 2 features are unique in the UK, as the maximum competitive solution is only 3 metres in length. This means that we can plate parts for large applications such as oil pipelines. We have even coated the inside of a clean room before!
- We are cost-effective
- Our turnaround cannot be beaten. We have 5 production lines and therefore our capacity and speed of turnaround is fast. Our standard lead time is 5 days, but we can turn parts around within 24 hours. Our competitors offer a 3-5 week lead time.
