Electrolytic Nickel

Electrolytic Nickel

Electrolytic simply means that an electrical current is used to bond the plating material to an object. In the electrolytic nickel plating process, nickel is applied to a substrate using electrodeposition. Engineers use this process because sulfamate nickel solutions produce a 99.9% pure nickel deposit onto the metal surface. The nickel surface coating provides lubricity, corrosion resistance, durability, and strength. It is also minimally stressed, perfect for parts that will be bent or flexed.

Features & Benefits of Electrolytic Nickel Plating

• Heat resistant up to 1000°C (1832°F)
• Excellent corrosion protection
• Enhanced sliding wear resistance
• High Ductility
• Superior bond strength to base metal

Electrolytic Nickel is primarily used as a barrier coating under hard chrome to create the ultimate wear and corrosion resistant coating.
