Electroless Nickle Plating

Metreat Engineers manufacture Electroless Nickel Plating and other wide range of products that are widely used and demanded by our clients from different parts of the world. Electroless nickel plating that is a non-conventional plating system where no current is used for deposition that helps in uniform layer thickness plating on intricate parts with hole and deep recesses. This reduces any excess build-up on the corners or at edges and also eliminates post-plating grinding operation. The electroless nickel plating layer is amorphous and gives better corrosion protection that of equal thickness of electro deposited nickel.

Ideal for complex shapes where uniform and controllable plating thickness is not possible by conventional electroplating process, this layer offers a surface hardness of 48 to 62 HRC with excellent bonding and the plated layer does not flake-off. Our electroless coating is perfect for plastic dies, taper cavities, spiders, breaker plates and other extrusion die parts.

This plating helps the barrels for injection moulding machines by giving them non-stick property that helps in easy cleaning. This electroless nickel plating helps in re- building worn-out punches to original dimensions. This coating is also used for costly instruments and oil field as well. The different properties of this plating are:

• Superior corrosion protection
• Uniform and controllable layer thickness
• Wear resistance
• Non-stick property for plastic moulds and extrusion dies
• Solderability
• Ductility
• Lubricity
