About Our Nickel Plating Services

Nickel plating is one of the most versatile industrial coatings available. It provides exceptional corrosion resistance, wear protection, and can serve as an excellent base layer for other finishes. At Quality Plating, we offer both electrolytic nickel and electroless nickel (EN) processes to meet your specific requirements.

Our nickel plating lines are carefully maintained with regular bath analysis and purification. We use premium-grade nickel sulfamate and sulfate solutions, ensuring consistent deposit characteristics and predictable results. Whether you need a decorative bright finish or a functional hard coat, we have the capability and expertise to deliver.

Nickel Plating Options

Electrolytic Nickel (Bright)

Bright, decorative nickel plate with excellent corrosion resistance. Available in various brightness levels from semi-bright to full bright. Ideal for automotive, appliances, and decorative hardware.

Electroless Nickel (EN)

Chemical (autocatalytic) nickel plating provides uniform thickness regardless of part geometry. Perfect for complex shapes, threaded parts, valves, and hydraulic components. 5-12% phosphorus content options.

Hard Nickel (Matte)

Matte nickel with higher hardness for wear resistance. Heat-treatable to increase hardness further. Used for molds, dies, printing rolls, and sliding wear surfaces.

Nickel-Chrome Systems

Double and triple-layer nickel systems for maximum corrosion protection. Micro-discontinuous nickel and bright nickel combinations meet automotive and aerospace specifications.
