Electroless Nickel plating

Electroless nickel DURNI-COAT^® is suitable for surface finishing of all low-alloyed ferritic steels, cast iron materials, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass or bronze, aluminium alloys and sintered metal materials.

The suitability of further materials for electroless nickel plating can be clarified by means of sample coatings.

The three most required properties in the application of electroless nickel coatings are wear protection, corrosion resistance and contour accuracy. This is followed by solderability, good friction characteristics, high ductility and certain magnetic properties. Often several of the properties listed are required at the same time. Although the electroless nickel coatings are very versatile, in practice it is usually not possible to optimally fulfil multi-dimensional requirements with just one layer. Therefore, it is a great advantage to be able to adjust the properties of DURNI-COAT^® coatings within certain limits.

The selection of the suitable coating variant should be made in close cooperation between the user and the coater. This is the only way to achieve the quality of the electroless nickel coatings in addition to cost-effectiveness.

Examples of DURNI-COAT^® electroless nickel plated components include: wastewater engineering components, drive assemblies, fittings, mining equipment parts, nozzles, printing machine components, printing rollers, vehicle parts, filter housings, guide bushes, gear parts, flaps, pump bodies for natural gas and oil use, reactor construction, components which are subjected to vibration, textile machine parts, valves, compressors, packaging machine parts.

The customer industries of DURNI-COAT^®finished components include, amongst others: instrument construction, automotive construction, mining, office technology, chemical industry, data technology, railway technology, electronics, electrical engineering, power engineering, aircraft construction, household appliance industry, hydraulic industry, communications technology, food industry, mechanical engineering, medical device construction, measurement technology, pharmaceutical industry, pneumatic industry, reactor technology, control technology, textile industry, defence technology.

NEDOX^® is suitable for coating all low-alloyed ferritic steels, cast iron materials, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass or bronze, aluminium alloys and sintered metal materials.

The suitability of further materials for a NEDOX^® treatment can be clarified through sample coatings.

Some NEDOX^® variants are compliant with relevant food and commodity regulations (FDA, USDA, EC). As a result, they are suitable for applications where components are in direct or indirect contact with foods, eg. in the food industry or in the packaging sector.

However, the fields of application of NEDOX^® coatings are not limited to these two sectors, but are also found, for example, in the automotive industry, in energy technology (oil and gas), in the semiconductor industry, in the aerospace industry, in the pharmaceutical industry or in the field of pneumatics.
