A unique bath providing an as-plated deposit hardness of up to 60 Rockwell This bath provides a deposit nearly as hard as Hard Chrome, with the advantage of a uniform thickness inside complex configurations, as well as outside. The deposit is so uniform that grinding after plating is eliminated. Low Phosphorous Electroless Nickel offers excellent resistance to alkaline corrosive environments.

This is a workhorse Electroless Nickel. It has proven itself over the years. Steel parts plated with Medium Phosphorous Electroless Nickel will in many cases perform like stainless steel. Electroless Nickel will not build up on edges or ends, and it plates inside and out giving uniform TOTAL coverage. With heat treatment, Medium Phosphorous Electroless Nickel can be hardened from 45 Rockwell ³C² to as high as 68 Rockwell ³C².

This finish provides maximum corrosion resistance. High Phosphorous Electroless Nickel is standard in industries that require resistance to strongly acidic corrosive environments like oil drilling and coal mining. High Phosphorous Electroless Nickel has a high degree of solderability. It will remain solderable for long periods of time. This makes it a desirable finish for electronics parts such as connector housings and semiconductor packaging.

The Teflon^TM adds to the already slick surface of the Electroless Nickel, yielding a very low friction surface. This product is a relatively new one. It consists of microscopic beads of Teflon co-deposited up to 20% with the Electroless Nickel. This finish can be the solution to sticking, galling or drag problems with moving parts, or heated seal surfaces. In some cases, liquid lubricants can be eliminated with the use of Nickel/Teflon plating.

We can apply Electroless Nickel directly to zinc die cast without a copper layer. This has many applications where corrosion resistance and resistance to chipping and flaking is necessary.
