Why Choose Nickel Plating?
Protects base materials in harsh environments, extending component life
Prevents diffusion between base metal and top coatings (e.g., gold/tin)
Enhances bonding of subsequent finishes or solder layers
Adds mechanical durability to connector and contact surfaces
Available in pure nickel, nickel-cobalt, and nickel-phosphorus variants
Process Capabilities
We operate 24 reel-to-reel plating lines with full control over deposition and part handling. Nickel plating can be applied through:
Spot Plating
Focused application of nickel on specific functional areas to support precision finishes or contact points.
Selective Stripe (Single/Dual Sided)
Controlled stripe coverage on one or both sides of the material — ideal for edge protection and connector regions.
Control Depth Plating
Tight regulation of plating thickness to meet electrical, thermal, or mechanical design requirements.
Overall Plating
Complete coverage of components or strip materials for uniform corrosion resistance and adhesion improvement.
All nickel processes are monitored using SPC and XRF systems and are validated in our on-site chemistry labs.
Nickel plating is compatible with the following part types and material formats:
Used across automotive, telecom, and microelectronics for their structural precision and conductivity.
Ideal for thermal performance and surface preparation in complex or high-temperature assemblies.
Provide a clean, consistent base for uniform nickel coverage prior to forming or secondary finishing.
Support high-speed reel-to-reel processing of small or delicate components with controlled plating regions.
We accommodate both customer-furnished substrates and fully sourced turnkey material solutions.
Nickel is typically used as a foundational layer beneath gold, silver, tin, and other finishes—providing essential corrosion resistance, improved adhesion, and a barrier against diffusion.
