What Are Nickel Coatings?

Nickel is a hard and ductile transition metal renowned for its corrosion and wear resistance, making it an essential protective metal coating across various industries. This durable metal is applied through an electroplating process, where a thin nickel layer is electrodeposited onto surfaces, enhancing their lifespan and appearance. Nickel coatings are particularly valuable in aerospace, automotive, and marine sectors, where they protect against harsh environmental conditions.

The bright, lustrous finish of nickel coatings also adds aesthetic value, and when combined with other materials like chromium, their protective qualities are further amplified. This makes nickel coatings a versatile and practical choice for ensuring longevity and performance of metal components.

Details About Armoloy Nickel Coatings

The Armoloy Corporation ensures global manufacturers keep their high precision components up and running with our innovative lineup of nickel coatings.

Armoloy specializes in advanced nickel coatings designed to combat moderate to severe corrosion in machined components. Our offerings include mid-phosphorus electroless nickel, a robust functional coating known for its uniform deposition and excellent corrosion resistance.

Additionally, Armoloy provides Nickel Teflon® (Nyflon®), renowned for its unique combination of low friction and release qualities without the use of PFAS additives. These coatings are applied in thin, yet effective layers ranging from 0.0001 to 0.003 inches, ensuring enhanced durability without impacting the dimensional tolerance of parts. This precision application makes Armoloy’s nickel coatings ideal for critical components where both corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are paramount.
