Electroless Nickel Plating: Precision Coating for Performance and Protection by MYT Machining

At MYT Machining, we provide high-performance electroless nickel plating services engineered for precision, durability, and corrosion resistance. High-tech plating process suits perfectly numerous industries, such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, etc.

What Is Electroless Plating in Nickel?

Electroless plating in nickel is an auto-catalytic chemical process that deposits a uniform layer of nickel-phosphorus alloy on various substrates. It does not need external electrical current like in conventional electroplating, and so it is well suited to intricate geometries and internal surfaces.

Key Benefits of Nickel Plating 

With our plating services, the benefits are unrivaled and they include:

  • Good resistance to corrosion and wear
  • Even coating on complicated shapes
  • Improved hardness and Lubricity
  • Better adhesion to metals and non-metals

Whether you’re plating on metal or looking for electroless nickel on plastic, our solutions ensure consistent results every time.

Types of Electroless Nickel Plating Based on Phosphorus Content

The performance of electroless nickel-phosphorus plating varies based on phosphorus levels. At MYT Machining, we offer all phosphorus content types, customized to your specifications:

Low Phosphorus (2-5 %)

  • High hardness
  • Good solderability
  • Good wear resistance

Medium Phosphorus (6-9%)

  • Most common
  • Moderate hardness and corrosion resistance
  • General engineering applications

High Phosphorus (10-13%)

  • Superior high-phosphorus electroless nickel corrosion resistance
  • Most suitable in extreme chemical conditions

Specialty Services: Black & Nickel-Boron Electroless Plating

We also deal in:

Black Electroless Nickel Plating

This plating has:

  • Special matte finish
  • Enhanced aesthetics
  • Best used in the Defense and optical industries

Nickel-Boron Electroless Plating

  • Extraordinary hardness (hard chrome-like)
  • Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
  • Applicable in high-load mechanical industries

Applications of Electroless Plating

Our electroless nickel plating is trusted across sectors for applications like:

  • Pump components and Hydraulic pistons
  • Molds and machine parts
  • Aero and auto components
  • Circuit boards and electronic connectors

Frequently Asked Questions

Electroless Nickel Plating

  • Can the coating be applied inside holes and threads?

    Yes. One of the key advantages of ENP is its uniform deposition on internal surfaces, threads, and recessed areas.
     

  • Does electroless nickel plating prevent rust?

    Yes. High-phosphorus ENP offers excellent corrosion resistance—especially on stainless steel and mild steel—making it ideal for marine or chemical exposure.
     

  • How thick is a electroless nickel coating?

    Typical thickness ranges from 5 to 50 microns (0.0002" to 0.002"). At MYT Machining, we apply custom thicknesses depending on wear and corrosion requirements.
