Apticote Electroless NickelElectroless Nickel is a hard, silver coloured coating comprised of nickel alloyed with between 4 and 14% phosphorous. It is deposited by immersion of parts in a solution of nickel salts and reducing agents at a temperature of 90°C. Although it has the appearance of an electroplated coating (e.g. like Hard Chrome), the process is purely chemical, so that deposition is evenly distributed over the part, including internal and external corners. |
