Nickel plating services in bangalore

Nickel plating is a process of depositing nickel onto a metal part. Parts to be plated must be clean and free of dirt, corrosion, and defects before plating can begin. To clean and protect the part during the plating process, a combination of heat treating, cleaning, masking, pickling, and etching may be used. Once the piece has been prepared it is immersed into an electrolyte solution and is used as the cathode. The nickel anode is dissolved into the electrolyte to form nickel ions. The ions travel through the solution and deposit on the cathode.

Benefits of Nickel Plating

Corrosion resistance: a corrosion-prone substance such as iron can be coated with a layer of non-corrosive material, thereby protecting the original material

Applications

Nickel plating is used to coat parts of chemical equipment, automobiles, bicycles, medical instruments, household articles, measuring instruments, engraving plates, and stereotypes, as well as parts that are used under moderate loads under conditions of dry friction.
