Electroless Nickel Plating

While some nickel plating applications lend themselves to the traditional elctrolytic-bath process, more and more of our customers opt for the improved consistency and reliability of our electroless process. We can guarantee a tighter tolerance on nickel plating thickness, benefits include:

 

  • Mold and die release after stamping and drawing
  • Cost savings due to less nickel waste
  • Smoother surfaces and less post-plating finishing
  • Irregular shapes with recesses and through-features

 

When traditional plating won’t do, we can offer our advanced technology electroless plating solutions. We’re a proud PA business that serves customers in cities like York, Harrisburg and beyond. Hard Chrome Specialists is your electroless nickel plating expert on the East Coast and continues to offer customers the best industrial nickel plating solutions around.

 

We are a family-owned business in operation since 1988 and are proud of our reputation as a local leader in industrial plating. Our experienced team is continually improving our electroless nickel plating process to provide even greater control and precision. The result is a flawless nickel surface that delivers the physical properties you are looking for.

 

Advantages of Electroless Plating

 

Our electroless plating process prevents corrosion and wear, which is important for certain types of materials and products. We deliver a tightly-adhering nickel surface that delivers the durability and corrosion resistance you require for your application. Electroless nickel plating is the perfect solution for parts with complex geometric shapes since the deposited nickel layer is even on all surfaces. In electrolytic nickel deposition, flux density and current concentrations can cause variations in chrome thickness that do not occur with our electroless process.

 

With proper catalyst choice and application, we can plate certain non-conductive materials as well. You won't find a better nickel plating partner than Hard Chrome Specialists on the East Coast. We are the first choice for customers in Lancaster, Harrisburg and York, and we provide electroless nickel plating solutions that cover the needs of customers across PA, MD, and across the country as well. If you require a consistent and durable chrome surface on your industrial parts, components or materials, Hard Chrome Specialists is your partner.
