Nicocover
Electroless Nickel Plating
Our Nicocover has a deposit that is one of the most accurate in reproducing surface texture and shape. It is the highest corrosion resistant plating process available today. On most substrates the deposit is pore free unlike electrolytic plating, the thickness of electroless deposits are plated evenly over the entire surface even on complex parts. Blind holes, threads, small diameter holes, recesses or internal areas receive the same amount of plating as sharp corners, edges or external surfaces. Therefore, very close tolerances can be maintained and although Nicocover deposits can be machined, in most of cases machining to size is frequently eliminated.
Some of Nicocover's properties include a hardness of between 50 to 70 Rockwell C, excellent lubricity and wear resistance, 100% uniformity, an excellent bond to base materials and a superior corrosion resistance. It may be deposited onto many different materials including, High and Low Carbon Steels, Cast iron, Aluminium, Copper and Copper Alloys, Brass and Brass Alloys, Nitrided and other hardened steels, Stainless Steels and many more.
Due to it's hardiness, lubricity, wear resistance and uniform deposit thickness, Nicocover should be considered whenever there is a need for a hard, smooth, corrosion resistant and uniformly plated coating.
