Electroless Nickel Plating Service treats aluminum surfaces.
Press Release Summary:
Electroless nickel plating is RoHS-compliant process for chemically applying nickel-alloy deposits onto aluminum substrates. Featuring uniform deposit thickness and close dimensional tolerance capabilities, it accommodates irregularly shaped, detailed part geometries. Medium and high phosphorous content nickel plating are available, meeting AMS-C-26074 and military standards. Nickel plating and chromate conversion coating production is provided for parts up to 24 x 24 x 24 in.
Original Press Release:
Cybershield Announces RoHS Compliant Nickel Plating and Chromate Conversion Coating on Aluminum
Complementing Cybershield's capabilities to apply RoHS compliant electroless nickel plating onto plastic, we now offer electroless nickel plating on aluminum.
Electroless nickel coatings produce very uniform, hard and lubricious coatings, without an externally applied electric current. Electroless nickel plating is a process for chemically applying nickel-alloy deposits onto aluminum substrates using an auto catalytic immersion process without the use of electrode.
Electroless nickel is the preferred choice among functional coatings for irregularly shaped, highly detailed part geometries because of its completely uniform deposit thickness and close dimensional tolerance capabilities. It differs from electroplating, which depends on an external source of direct (electrical) current to produce a deposit on the substrate material. Since electrical current cannot be distributed evenly throughout the component, it is very difficult to obtain uniform coatings with electrolytically applied deposits. Electroless nickel deposits, therefore, are not subject to the uniformity problems associated with electroplated coatings. Cybershield offers both medium and high phosphorous content nickel plating and meet AMS-C-26074 industry standard as well as other industry and military standards.
Cybershield also offers trivalent, RoHS and ELV compliant aluminum chromate conversion coating services. Chromate conversion or chemical film coatings offer passivation and corrosion protection of aluminum components. In addition to providing corrosion resistance, chromating also provides a good base for plating, painting and other applications onto aluminum components, including 5000 and 6000 series aluminum alloys. Our chromating services comply with MIL-DTL-5541, Mil-spec standard, and can withstand an ASTM standard salt spray test for 168 hours.
Cybershield offers nickel plating and chromate conversion coating production capabilities for parts up to 24" x 24" x 24".
These new services complement Cybershield conductive form-in-place EMI gasket dispensing and CARC paint application services. Cybershield can treat the aluminum component (chromate conversion coating and/or nickel plating), dispense EMI gasket and/or apply CARC paint to a wide range of industry and military specifications.
