Corrosion protection

 

Thanks to our diffusion heat treatment, diffused high phosphorus electroless nickel plating offers almost twice the corrosion protection of other coatings. This corrosion resistance is essential for parts that are exposed to highly aggressive corrosive environments, thereby guaranteeing their durability.

This heat treatment allows the partial diffusion of the nickel layer into the base material. The resulting bond guarantees solid cohesion between the coating and the base material, providing exceptional mechanical strength.

Pieces positioned above a pretreatment tank, just before immersion in the nickel bath. This crucial preparation step ensures an optimal surface, promoting the uniform adhesion of nickel during the coating process. Every detail matters in our commitment to the quality of nickel plating.
Our latest addition to the technological arsenal: the heat treatment furnace, acquired in 2023, propelling our capabilities to new heights. This state-of-the-art furnace signifies our company's ongoing commitment to excellence, providing enhanced capabilities for precise and efficient heat treatments. A significant step toward the superior quality of our products.

Increased hardness

 

The diffusion heat treatment considerably increases the hardness of electroless nickel plating compared to the “as-plated” state. This improvement in hardness increases the capacity of parts to withstand wear and mechanical stress, thereby extending their service life.

Hardness: up to 750 Vickers

The benefits of diffused electroleus nickel plating

CORROSION PROTECTION

Thanks to our high phosphorus content, it offers outstanding resistance to corrosion and wear, making it the ideal choice for the most demanding environments.

HARDNESS

Electroless nickel plating offers hardness of between 700 and 720 Vickers, suitable for a variety of applications. This adjustable range guarantees optimum protection and performance for different mechanical parts.

ROBUST ADHERENCE

Our process provides exceptional coating adherence, guaranteeing the durability and long service life of your parts, even in difficult conditions.

UNIFORMITY TO THE NEAREST µ

Our expertise guarantees the uniformity of the high phosphorus electroless nickel plating on each part, providing consistent corrosion protection.

ADAPTABILITY

From standard to complex shapes, our processes can be adapted to your parts for partial or total processing to meet your specifications

ROUGHNESS

Electroless nickel plating preserves the roughness of a metal part after depositing. The initial part roughness determines the final roughness.
