Electroless Nickel Plating

Apex Industries is a leading industrial coating applicator with over 20 years experience and is known throughout the industry for excellent quality, prompt service and innovation. The company undertakes Electroless Nickel Plating, called Nicoat. This is unusual plating because it does not require electrical current for deposition. Hence, it does not have the handicaps of conventional electroplating and offers the following advantages: totally uniform plating thickness on the entire part; plating thickness that can be controlled in micron tolerances; grinding after plating not required because of uniform plating thickness; parts of any complicated shape can be plated; and plating can be done on any metal – aluminium, CI, MS, EN series, HCHCr, SS, brass, copper, etc. Nicoat has a unique combination of engineering properties and is widely used for: superior corrosion protection, high surface hardness – 48 to 62 HRC, excellent wear resistance – reduces friction, non-sticking, self-polishing surface, solderability, etc.
