ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING

ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING PER MIL-C-26074, ASTM B733 AND AMS 2404

Electroless nickel plating is an process that codeposits a nickel-phosphorous alloy without need for an externallyapplied electrical current.  The electroless nickel plating process occurs from a chemical reduction of the nickel ions within the electroless nickel solution onto a metallic substrate rather than deposition of the ions from an applied current.  As a result, the electroless nickel deposit is free of many of the problems associated with traditional electrolytic nickel including edge buildup and non-uniform coating.  Electroless nickel deposits are extremely uniform, corrosion and erosion resistant and provide excellent lubricity.

Advanced Plating Technologies, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin company, provides electroless nickel plating per MIL-C-26074, ASTM B733 and AMS 2404 as well as most company specifications.  APT offers loose-piece barrel, rack and vibratory electroless nickel plating on nearly any metallic substrate including nearly any ferrous, cupreous and aluminum alloys as well as many exotic alloys.   APT provides electroless nickel plating within a variety of technically-focused industries including the medical, oil & gas, power transmission/distribution and defense industries.
