Nickel Electroplating
There are many companies out there offering Nickel Electroplating, but if you’re looking for one of the best, look no further than Birmingham-based E.C. Williams Ltd.
Like all electroplated coatings, nickel plating is a thin layer of nickel which can be deposited onto several types of underlying metal.
The nickel coating is normally deposited together with organic brighteners to give it a highly decorative appearance.
Alternatively the amount of brightener can be reduced to give a more ductile coating for those components that need to be crimped or manipulated after plating.
Nickel electroplating gives a high level of corrosion resistance making it particularly useful in the plumbing industry. Nickel is also a good conductor of electricity and so is much used in electrical switch and components.
Unlike zinc plating, nickel electroplating is a very hard coating making it more wear resistant and impact tolerant.
