Electroless Nickel Plating

Electroless Nickel Plating:

AST specializes in offering electroless nickel plating (EN Plating) services to extend the longevity of both miniature and large parts exposed to harsh environments. Components finished by our EN plating process have superior resistance to corrosion and rust. With EN plating, which does not involve the use of electric current, we uniformly plate nickel on a variety of substrates with complex geometries.

Our four decades of experience in the metal finishing industry allows us to offer unique solutions for a number of industries, such as oil & gas, solar, and automotive. From our rack and barrel processing line, we supply electroless nickel plated components according to MIL-C-26074, AMS 2404, plus ASTM B-733 standards. We make use of different EN coatings and processes to offer custom solutions for your distinct finishing needs. Mid-phosphorus and high-phosphorous electroless nickel coatings that we supply, are ideal for plating a range of metal substrates, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass. For eliminating sticking, or galling problems in metal components, you can choose from our range of electroless nickel coatings with Teflon.

We take into consideration a number of factors including formulation of the bath, phosphorous content, and both pre-plate as well as post-plate treatment techniques in our electroless nickel plating processes. Regardless of the plating technique used, all our EN coatings have excellent deposit uniformity and corrosion resistance. As an environmentally aware job shop, we have formed extensive wastewater minimization programs for recycling hazardous waste rather than disposing them to the land.
