Electro less nickel plating is used to provide protection from wear and abrasion, resistance against corrosion, and add hardness to parts of all conditions. It’s commonly used in coatings applications in engineering, aerospace, oil and gas, construction, electronics and several others.
As plated, it has a hardness of between 68 and 72 on the Rockwell C Scale. Electro less nickel can also protect components from wear and tear that occurs over time, which helps parts to last longer and saves companies money on maintenance and replacement costs.
