Rp123.00

Nickel electroplating is a process used to deposit a thin layer of nickel onto a metal object using an electrolytic cell. Our Nickel electroplating process produces a nickel layer which acted as a barrier, protecting the base metal from oxidation. It significantly increases the surface hardness of softer metals like copper or brass. It is also ferromagnetic, which is useful in electronic shielding and can be polished to a high mirror-like luster or left as a dull satin finish.

The Plating Process steps:

  1. Pre-Treatment: The most critical step. The "substrate" must be treated with our cleaning solution to ensure the nickel bonds properly.

  2. Electrodeposition: The part is submerged in the nickel solution as the cathode (negative), while nickel pellets or bars act as the anode (positive).

  3. Post-Treatment: Parts are rinsed and sometimes coated with a chrome topcoat to prevent the nickel from tarnishing over time.
