Nickel & Chrome Plating
Dual Layer Finishing for Corrosion and Wear Resistance
Nickel-Chrome Plating (Ni-Cr Plating)
Ni-chrome coatings consist of an electroless nickel plating with a precision hard-chrome overlay, providing the maximum wear- and corrosion-resistance on metallic surfaces to ensure precise quality and ultimate performance.
- Improved wear resistance
- Improved lubricity
- Oil retention
- Better corrosion protection than hard chrome alone
Electroless Nickel Plating (EN Plating)
EN Plating is a chemical reaction that meets both medium and high phosphorus specifications. Regardless of geometry, once a catalyst is immersed into the acid bath, the coating plates evenly throughout the entire part.
Our Benton Harbor, MI facility is equipped to handle parts that are 9 ft. long and weigh as much as 4,000 lbs., making it one of the largest EN Plating facilities in the Midwest. Our EN Plating capabilities and specifications include:
- 8-11% phosphorus nickel
- Hardness 48-52 HRc
- Maximum hardness 60-65 HRc
- Plating range 0.0002″ to 0.003″ per side
- Meets AMS 2404 specifications
- Meets ASTM B733 specifications
- Meets Mil-C-26074 specifications
- Meets AMS 2460 specifications
- Meets AMS QQ-C-320 specifications
Hard Chrome Plating
Precision hard-chrome coatings are applied to tools and dies, hydraulic shafts and cylinders, and many other applications where long-life performance is required.
- Hardness 65-70 RC
- Improved wear resistance
- Improved lubricity
- Oil retention
- Restores dimensions of undersized parts
- Light flash applications from .00005
