If you’re running components in a high-wear environment, electroless nickel plating heat treatment is an effective finishing process for industrial manufacturing. What can it do for your parts? Let’s take a closer look.
Hard Chrome & Electroless Nickel Plating for the Oil & Gas Industry
Oil and gas equipment is in constant use putting up with outside factors such as pressure, heat, corrosive fluids and abrasive particulates. When a component fails, if has serious implications on production. The fix isn’t always to buy a new part.
Electroless Nickel Plating for Food Processing Equipment: What it Does and Why It Matters
Traditional electroplating uses electrical current to deposit metal onto a surface. The current concentrates at edges and high points, which means those areas get thicker coatings while recesses, threads, and internal channels get less. On a flat bracket, this process will work. However, on a pump housing with tight internal geometry, this is too much of a problem.
Hard Chrome Repair: Stop Replacing What You Can Restore
In industrial maintenance, the ability to repair rather than replace worn components is one of the most effective ways a business can control costs and minimize downtime. Hard chrome repair makes this possible. That’s because hard chrome repair restores parts to their original dimensions and performance specifications. However, it needs to be done by experienced […]
Why High Phosphorus Nickel Plating Is the Best Defense Against Corrosion
If you work in an industry where metal components are constantly fighting against harsh chemicals or acidic environments, you’re probably aware of high phosphorus nickel plating as a solution. But what exactly is it, and why does it outperform other surface coating options? Let’s take a further look.
Why You Should Hard Chrome Plate a Manifold in Chemical Processing
What’s one of the most effective ways to protect these critical components and keep them working consistently for years? The answer is found in the surface finishing.
Precision Grinding and Polishing: The Final Step That Makes All the Difference
In manufacturing, the difference between a part that performs flawlessly and one that fails in service often comes down to the final step — and that final step is most often, precision grinding and polishing.
Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Reconditioning for Extra Long Industrial Applications
When piston rods are extra long, let’s say 20 feet or more, the challenge of maintaining and repairing them becomes cumbersome. That’s where hard chrome plating reconditioning comes into play.
Surface Protection for Dry Bulk Material Handling with Hard Chrome and Electroless Nickel Plating
Dry bulk material handling processes high volume particles of various sizes, it places a great amount of stress on the machines and wears away at the surface of the hydraulic rods.
Industrial Valve Plating
In industrial valve plating, both hard chrome plating and electroless nickel plating are used to improve wear resistance and corrosion protection. However, some customers ask if there is a difference between the two applications.
