CHEMICAL NICKEL
CHEMICAL NICKEL on steel – copper – brass – cast iron – aluminum – zamak Chemical nickel plating (NI/P) also called Kanigen, is mainly used in the automotive and electrical fields. It is a good electrical conductor and thanks to its chemical deposit, it guarantees a uniform thickness over the entire surface of the part and this to within 2 microns (unlike electrolytic deposition which has peak effects). Thanks to its hardness, chemical nickel plating protects the part against wear due to friction. Indeed, after a heat treatment, chemical nickel, which already reaches 550 Vickers when leaving the bath, can reach up to 1000 Vickers, thus equaling chromium. The adhesion of chemical nickel being better than that of electrolytic nickel, and its brilliance close to chrome, it is used in other fields, such as medical and aeronautics.
