Electroless Nickel is a chemical (non-electrolytic) plating process that deposits a uniform nickel-phosphorus alloy coating onto metal surfaces. Unlike traditional electroplating, it doesn’t require an electrical current — instead, the coating forms through an autocatalytic chemical reaction.
Provides even thickness over complex shapes and internal surfaces that is controllable.
Excellent protection against rust, abrasion, and chemical attack.
Can be heat-treated to increase hardness, improving durability and lifespan.
Bright, semi-bright, or matt metallic finish depending on bath chemistry.
Smooth, low-friction surface ideal for sliding or moving components.
Common in aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and precision engineering industries.
Chromate-free/RoHS-compliant
