Electroless Nickel [MIL-C-26074; AMS 2404]

Electroless Nickel Plating, certified by MIL-C-26074, ASTM B733, and AMS 2404, is a specialized surface treatment that deposits a uniform layer of nickel-phosphorus alloy onto various metallic substrates. Here’s what you need to know:

Our electroless nickel MIL-C-26074 plating services provide a high-quality, uniform coating that enhances the corrosion resistance, hardness, and wear resistance of metal components. This process, compliant with MIL-C-26074 standards, is ideal for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications, ensuring superior performance and longevity. The electroless nickel plating process does not require an electric current, allowing for even coating on complex shapes and internal surfaces.

Process Overview:

• Unlike traditional electrolytic plating, electroless nickel plating occurs without an externally applied electrical current.
• Nickel ions in the electroless nickel solution chemically reduce onto the substrate, resulting in a uniform deposit.
• This process avoids issues like edge buildup and non-uniform coating.

               

Properties:

• Uniformity: Electroless nickel deposits are exceptionally uniform.
• Corrosion Resistance: The coating provides excellent protection against corrosion and erosion.
• Lubricity: It offers good lubricating properties.
• Phosphorus Content: The phosphorus content affects hardness, corrosion resistance, and magnetism.

               Types:

                               Type IV (Medium Phosphorus): Contains 6-9% phosphorus.

                               Type V (High Phosphorus): Contains 10-14% phosphorus.

 

Applications:

Widely used in industries such as medical, oil & gas, power transmission, and defense.
