Nickel plating is an electroplating technique in which parts are placed in an electrolytic bath containing an electrolyte and a current is run into the bath promoting the build-up of the nickel onto the component. Nickel plating is one of the most versatile metal finishing processes that is available, having a wide range of applicable uses. Not only can it improve the performance of the part and be used as a decorative coating, it is also often used as an undercoat for decorative chrome plating. It can be applied with a matte, sulfur-free appearance, semi-bright, or mirror bright finish by controlling the composition and operating parameters of the plating solution. Nickel plating increases the hardness of the part (hardness can vary between 150 and 500 Vickers), improves the corrosion resistance of the part, and reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion of the part. In the nickel plating process, we offer several common tin plating additives. For example, nickel barrel plating additive, bright nickel plating additive and high sulphur nickel plating additive. These additives play an important role in the nickel plating process, which mainly stems from the fact that they help to improve the properties of the plating.
With the help of additives, nickel plating offers many advantages. The main advantages are as follows.
With the aid of additives, nickel plating has been useful in many fields. The main applications are as follows.
Alfa Chemistry supplies nickel plating additives to companies producing electroplating solutions.Depending on your different needs, you can choose from either matte, semi-bright or bright nickel plating.
