Nickel plating a.k.a Nickel Electroplatng is a synthetic statement technique for covering a metal item with a layer of nickel. Nickel plating is generally performed for embellishing reason i.e to give an aethethic look to the latches or some other article. Nickel electroplating additionally gives consumption protectionm, wear obstruction or to develop undersized or worn parts.

Bolts or nuts to be electroplated are firstly cleaned to free of dirt, rust and defects before plating. Cleaning process may be a combination of heat treating, masking, picklingand etching. Once the part is cleaned, it is immersed into an electrolyte solution and is used as a cathode. The nickel rod acts as a anode and is dissolved into the electrolyte in form of nickel ions. The nickel ions travel through the solution and gets deposited over the substrate.

Advantages of Nickel Plating

• Does not use electrical power
• Even coating on parts surface can be achieved.
• No sophisticated jigs or racks are required.
• There is flexibility in plating volume and thickness.
• The process can plate recesses and blind holes with stable thickness.
• Chemical replenishment can be monitored automatically.
• Complex filtration method is not required
• Matte, Semi Bright or Bright finishes can be obtained.

 

Applications of Nickel Plating

Bumpers, rims, exhaust pipes and trim. It is also used for bright work on bicycles and luxury motorcycles. Other applications include hand tool and household items such as lighting and plumbing fixtures, wire racks, firearms, and appliances.
