MEDIUM PHOSPHORUS ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING

Medium phosphorus (Mid Phos) electroless nickel is ideal for applications requiring a uniform plating where magnetism is acceptable.

  • Moderate Corrosion Resistance

  • 65 mΩ/cm Electrical Resistance

  • Mixed Crystalline / Amorphous

  • Direct Plating on Ferrous Metals

  • 5-9% Phosphorus Content

  • 1000ºC Melting Point

  • .83 Friction Coefficient

  • 8.1 G/cm³ Density

  • 0.7% Ductility

  • Magnetic

  • Solderable

  • Uniform

  • Semi-Bright / Bright

  • Aluminum

  • Steel

  • Stainless Steel

  • Bronze

HIGH PHOSPHORUS ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING

High phos electroless nickel is ideal for heavy-build applications but is inherently less hard than medium phosphorus electroless nickel. Performing a heat treatment can enhance the deposit durability.

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance

  • 100 mΩ/cm Electrical Resistance

  • Direct Plating on Ferrous Metals

  • 10+% Phosphorus Content

  • 880ºC Melting Point

  • .45 Friction Coefficient

  • 7.8 G/cm³ Density

  • 1.50% Ductility

  • Non-Magnetic

  • Solderable

  • Amorphous

  • Semi-Bright / Bright

  • Aluminum

  • Steel

  • Stainless Steel

  • Bronze

  • Copper

  • Brass

  • Super Alloy

ELECTROLESS VS ELECTROLYTIC NICKEL PLATING

Standard nickel plating is an electrolytic process while electroless plating is autocatalytic, meaning no external power supply is required to apply the deposit. A part receiving electroless plating will continue to build a metal deposit so long it is in the tank. This creates a uniform plating with a standard deviation around +/- 0.00001”. Electrolytic plating requires an externally applied DC current, which potentially leads to a non-uniform application near the corners and edges of a part.

Electroless plating reduces ductility, so applications that require high ductility are better suited to the electrolytic process. Additionally, electroless nickel plating is not ideal for applications that demand high heat resistance.
