Uniform thickness control for critical tolerances in selective and reel-to-reel plating.

Exceptional corrosion resistance to enhance component longevity.

Selectable matte finishes ideal for subsequent plating or bonding operations.

Advanced process monitoring ensuring repeatability across production runs.

How the Matte Sulfamate Nickel Plating Process Works

Our plating process is designed for efficiency, consistency, and metallurgical precision. Each stage is tightly controlled to achieve the desired deposit characteristics while maintaining excellent adhesion to a variety of base materials.

Each operation is carefully measured and recorded to ensure complete traceability and repeatable outcomes. This level of control ensures our customers receive consistent, verified results for every part and production run.

1.) Surface Preparation

Components are chemically cleaned and activated to remove oxides or contaminants.

2.) Strike Layer Application

A thin initial nickel strike ensures strong adhesion to the base metal.

3.) Sulfamate Nickel Deposition

Using optimized current density and temperature, nickel ions are evenly deposited to produce a matte, low-stress finish.

4.) Post-Treatment

Parts are rinsed, dried, and inspected under stringent quality metrics, including microhardness and thickness testing.

5.) Final Inspection

Measurements, visual checks, and performance evaluations confirm compliance with specified standards.
