Electroless nickel plating process involves adding a nickel-phosphorus layer on the surface of the workpiece. Compared to electrolytic processes, such as hard chrome plating, the autocatalytic reduction process offers a more uniform layer thickness distribution. Exact contour coating of complicated workpiece geometries is also possible without any problems. Even internal coatings can be carried out to a certain extent.
In contrast to electrolytic plating, the autocatalytic nickel plating does not require any outside source of electricity. Instead, the workpiece surface is coated with a nickel-phosphor-layer in a chemical bath.
Electroless nickel coatings are characterized by excellent wear protection. Corrosion resistance is also significantly increased in the process. The phosphorus content can be used to control the hardness and the corrosion resistance of the coating.
