Uniform deposit
Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless nickel plating (EN) deposits a nickel-phosphorus alloy without electric current, so unlike conventional nickel plating it builds a uniform layer across the whole part, including bores, threads, and internal features that electroplating struggles to reach. The result is reliable corrosion and wear resistance on complex geometries. Electroless nickel joined our process range with the acquisition of E. Williams Surface Treatments.
