Applications of electroless plating of Nickel

Apart of being used in the form of nickel sheet, there are several other forms in which nickel is serving for the essential industrial applications that have made it the necessary metal in theThe popular form of electroless plating of nickel imparts the nickel phosphorus alloy coating. The amount of phospohorus present in the nickel coatings may change from two to thirteen percent. The common use of electroless plated nickel is in the engineered coating where the wear resistance and toughness and corrosion resistance is essential.

Other uses include in the oil field valves, rotors and drive shafts, document managing devices, fuel bars, optical surfaces required for diamond curves, door hinges, kitchen equipments, bathroom applications, electrical and mechanical tooling and office devices.

The plated nickel sheet is also used for coating in electronics printed circuit board preparation, usually with a cover of gold to avoid corrosion. This method is called as electroless nickel immersion gold. The large value of toughness of the coated material assists in the coating to recover the damaged part. The coating width of 25 to 100 micro meters is applied and machined to the final configuration. The consistent accumulation means that it can be applied on the complicated parts that are not able to adapt the hard wearing coating, for example chromium.It is widely utilized in the production of hard disk for computers to impart the atomically sleek coating on the disks made of aluminum, consisting magnetic layers which are coated on the top layer of the disk, commonly by sputtering and ending the protective carbon and lubrication. The end double layers save the beneath magnetic layer from the damages that can be made during reading and writing head and contact the surface.

The use of electroless nickel plating in the automotive industry due to its increase the wear resistance has been increased. But it is essential to identify that the ROHS compliant process kinds like heavy metal stabilizers can only use this feature.

The advantage of nickel sheet in the electroless plating is that it does not use electrical power so it saves power. And, it allows coating on the surface of the components. For electroless coating you do not require the jigs or racks. It also introduces versatility in the jigs plating volume and width.The method can plate nooks and blind gaps with the consistent width. For electroless plating, you do not require composite filtration. The matte, partial bright or glossy finishes can be received.

Apart of the above significant applications and advantages there are few drawbacks of electroless plating of nickel such that the chemicals have limited life. It offers expensive waste treatment because of the rapid chemical rejuvenation.
