How Our Nickel Plating Process Works

Our nickel plating process is engineered for precision and repeatability, combining automated process control with expert oversight. Each step ensures consistent coating performance, adhesion, and uniformity—no matter the production volume.

Together, these steps form a repeatable, quality-driven workflow that ensures consistent performance and compliance across every production run.

1.) Surface Preparation

Parts undergo degreasing, cleaning, and activation to remove oxides and ensure flawless adhesion.

2.) Selective Masking or Racking

Components are masked or racked based on the required plating pattern or area of deposition.

3.) Nickel Deposition

A controlled electroplating process deposits the nickel layer with precise current density and bath composition monitoring.

4.) Rinse and Post-Treatment

Plated parts are thoroughly rinsed, dried, and may receive additional protective finishes if required.

5.) Inspection and Measurement

Coating thickness, adhesion, and surface characteristics are validated using advanced metrology and inspection tools.

Case Study
