Most common metals can be nickel plated, including steel, copper, brass, and properly prepared aluminum. Material compatibility assessment is part of our quality process.

We offer nickel plating in thicknesses ranging from 0.0001" to 0.003" depending on your application requirements and specifications.

Nickel forms a protective barrier that shields base metals from corrosive elements. Corrosion protection increases proportionally with coating thickness.

Yes, with appropriate welding techniques. The nickel plating must be removed from the immediate weld area for optimal joint strength.

Our nickel-plating processes conform to ASTM B689, AMS 2403, and other industry specifications depending on your requirements.

For food contact applications, we follow FDA-compliant processes. Please specify food contact requirements when requesting a quote.

The dimensional change corresponds to the specified plating thickness. We can control this precisely to maintain critical tolerances.

Though not as conductive as silver or copper, nickel provides good electrical conductivity suitable for many applications.

Bright nickel offers a highly reflective appearance similar to chrome, when semi-bright provides a more subdued finish with similar functional properties.

Nickel plating offers excellent durability with high hardness (up to Rc 50) and wear resistance, making it suitable for components subject to abrasion and impact.
