NICKEL PLATING

More about Nickel Plating

Why Nickel

Nickel, the foundation layer. Hard, durable, and the barrier under most precious-metal finishes.

Barrier under gold. Stops copper migrating into thin gold, even at high temperature.

Wire-bond ready. Low-stress sulfamate nickel is a fine-grained underplate for wire-bonding gold.

Electroforms. Sulfamate nickel builds up to 0.020".

nickel plated components for corrosion resistance

Electroless Nickel

Even coverage. Uniform thickness in holes, recesses and complex shapes.

High or low phosphorus. High phosphorus for corrosion resistance; low phosphorus for hardness and wear.

Solderable. Good solderability and a sound surface for adhesive bonding.

Tough substrates. Plates over aluminum, magnesium and steel.
