Electroless nickel plating is a chemical process that deposits a nickel-phosphorus alloy onto a substrate without using an external electrical current. The phosphorus content in the alloy can vary, and it's classified into different types based on this content: low phosphorus (1-4% weight phosphorus), medium phosphorus (5-9% weight phosphorus), and high phosphorus (9-12% weight phosphorus).
The mid-phosphorus electroless nickel plating, which contains 6-9% phosphorus, is a popular choice due to its balanced properties. It offers good corrosion resistance in both alkaline and acidic conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. This type of plating also exhibits as-plated hardness from 45 to 57 Rc, and can be heat-treated to increase its hardness to 65 to 70 Rc. It has a faster deposition rate compared to other types of electroless nickel plating, depositing 18 to 25 µm per hour. So, if you're looking for a versatile electroless nickel plating option that offers good corrosion resistance and hardness, mid-phosphorus electroless nickel plating might be the way to go!Surface finishing is a broad range of industrial processes that alter the surface of a manufactured item to achieve a certain property. Finishing processes may be employed to: improve appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control the surface friction.
