Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless Nickel Plating is the answer for any corrosive materials project because it offers superior protection against oxidation. Electroless Nickel Plating also provides moderate abrasion resistance properties. How Electroless Nickel Plating WorksHow does it work? Proper pre-treatment is essential to effective adhesion of electroless nickel plating. We use a combination of several alkaline and acid cleaning solutions to activate the surface prior to electroless nickel plating. Depending on the customer’s needs, Bales can recommend one of several available electroless nickel plating baths to suit the application. |

Electroless Nickel Plating |
Electroless nickel plating is an autocatalytic process, so there is no electricity, or anode, involved. No matter how detailed, all surfaces will plate uniformly. As the solution comes into contact with the part, it envelopes the entire piece, penetrating even the deepest details. Electroless Nickel (Flash .0002 - .0003)Electroless nickel flash is a thin, uniform coating that gives you corrosion-free protection. Use it on parts – they will provide years of wipe clean service without the use of spray wax protection. |

Electroless Nickel Plating (Build Up)
We routinely uses electroless nickel plating to uniformly plate specific areas where customers need to correct an out of tolerance specification. These precision electroless nickel “build-ups” are applied in thicknesses of up to .003 and do not require any machining or rework after plating.
