Electroless Nickel Plating Services
Electroless Nickel
AMS C 26074 | ASTM B733 | AMS 2404
Electroless Nickel (EN) plating, is an auto-catalytic or chemical plating process, has been used across a myriad of industries since the 1950s for its exceptional wear, corrosion capabilities and uniform thickness over all surfaces . Our dedication to electroless nickel is industry leading with four plating lines and over 10,000 gallons of varying tank sizes to meet our customers needs. If we don’t employ the right setup to plate the parts, we build the tanks to run them. Unlike many platers we have a dedicated line for plating electroless nickel on Aluminum substrates. Daily we run high and low phos. electroless nickel along with our TwinClad XT composite coating. TCP will setup and operate mid phos. EN and the long list of other composite EN coatings when a customer needs the plating services.

Uniform Thickness. Being an auto-catalytic process, EN does not rely on the anode/cathode relationship as in electrolytic plating processes - resulting in uniform coating thickness across the surface of the part(s), regardless of shape and size. Accuracy and Consistency - The final coating thickness of EN is determined based on the length of time the part(s) are submerged in the plating bath. Through careful and meticulous bath maintenance, the final coating thickness can be maintained within .00005”±, typical applications only require .0001” ±. High Phosphorus EN - High Phos Electroless Nickel, ENHP, provides superior corrosion resistance capabilities compared to other formulation of EN. ENHP can be heat treated after plating to improve the hardness and adhesion of the final coating. Medium Phosphorus EN - Medium Phosphorus EN, MidPhos EN, is the most readily available type of EN. Provides both corrosion resistance and wear capabilities. MidPhos EN deposits slightly faster than ENHP, resulting in a semibright final coating. Low Phosphorus EN - Low Phosphorus EN, LowPhos EN, is the hardest of the EN formulations. Provides excellent corrosion resistance in alkaline environments. Final deposit is bright in appearance. RoHS Compliance - Twin City Plating provides a number of different RoHS Compliant EN formulations. For specific information please contact us. Composites - EN Composite coatings are creating many new opportunities where traditional EN formulations did not fully satisfy customer/industry requirements. Wear-ability, hardness, lubricity – depending on the formulation there may be a Composite EN coating that makes the difference for your application. Call for more details.
