Nickel Plating

Our capabilities for nickel plating services include bright, semi-bright, matte, and low-stress nickel deposits. The specialized team of industrial platers at KPW are dedicated to providing top quality electroplated products and surface finishes.

Nickel plated metals are used in a variety of industries including the electronics, electroforming, and automotive markets. A drawback to bright nickel plated metals is that the brighter the deposit gets the less ductile it becomes. Nickel is also used as an under-plate for other metals such as gold and silver because it acts as a diffusion barrier that prevents any form of substrate migration to the top coating.

The benefits of nickel plated metals include:

  • Excellent Corrosion Protection
  • Wear Resistance
  • Lubricity
  • Tarnish Protection
  • Decorative Appearance
  • Good Diffusion Barrier
  • Surface Hardness
  • Magnetic Characteristics

Nickel plated metals used for engineering purposes are often smooth and dull grey in appearance. These nickel deposits are used for wear resistance, hardness, lubricity, and magnetic purposes. Both bright and matte nickel plating services offer an excellent degree of corrosion resistance.
