Electroless nickel plating is an autocatalytic reaction used to cover a layer of nickel on a substrate. Contrary to electroplating, it is not required to pass an electric current through the solution to form a deposit. This type of process is used to prevent corrosive wear on parts. We use two different types of electroless nickel plating solutions, both are medium phosphorus treatments, Tank#56 is a ELV compliant cadmium free, lead free, capability with 6-8% phosphorus and Tank#55 is neither cadmium or lead free with 7-9% phosphorus; each offers a high speed deposit rate and offers bright and semi-bright options for cosmetic particularization. The following substrates can be plated: steel, corrosion resistant steels, copper and copper/brass.
