Electroless nickel plating is widely used in the automotive industry. It is used to improve the durability and performance of key components such as fuel pump casings, transmission elements and braking components. As well as effectively protecting these parts from corrosion, wear and mechanical stress, electroless nickel plating provides extremely consistent internal and external protection. It guarantees that fuel pump casings resist corrosive fuels, extending their service life and guaranteeing reliable operation. It also reduces wear on transmission and braking components.

Electric contacts, connectors, electronic housings and equipment used to manufacture electronic components such as vacuum pumps are often electroless nickel-plated. The process improves their electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, and ensures their reliability in demanding environments, especially in the production of microprocessors and other essential electronic components.

Electroless nickel plating is used in the nuclear industry to protect various components in reactors, cooling systems and other essential equipment from corrosion due to the highly corrosive environments and radiation. This guarantees the safety and durability of nuclear facilities, contributing to the production of clean, safe energy.

In aviation, electroless nickel plating is an essential treatment to protect critical parts such as gears, turbine shafts and landing gear components. It guarantees optimum performance and the durability of mechanisms to guarantee in-flight safety.

The equipment and components used in oil and gas installations are subject to extremely corrosive environments (oil, seawater, saline environments) and abrasive environments (gravel, sand, crude oil, etc.). Thick electroless nickel plating combined with diffusion heat treatment (the nickel then diffuses into the steel for optimum cohesion and adherence) provides high resistance to corrosion, wear and impact, extending service life up to 25 years.

3D printing is revolutionising the manufacture of bespoke parts, but to guarantee their durability and performance, electroless nickel plating is a crucial step. Electroless nickel plating strengthens the structure of these parts, protecting them from wear and corrosion, while improving their electrical conductivity. This opens up a wide range of applications, from aerospace and medicine to cutting-edge automotive industries such as Formula 1, where nickel-plated 3D printed components provide robust and durable solutions.

Electroless nickel plating is used to protect solar panel and wind turbine components, as well as heat pump components. It improves performance, component resistance and application efficiency.

The vacuum pump market plays an essential role in a number of industries, including microprocessor manufacturing, in which the creation of ultra-clean environments is required for successful component manufacture. The vacuum pumps used for these applications require exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, as they are exposed to extreme conditions. Electroless nickel plating provides very high corrosion resistance while complying with extremely tight machining tolerances (±2µ).
