Electroless Nickel (high phosphorous or medium phosphorous as required)-
Similar to stainless steel in color. Plates uniformly in recesses and cavities (does not build up on edges). Corrosion resistance is excellent. Low coefficient of friction. Electroless nickel is used
extensively in salvage of worn or mismachined parts. Also, for inside dimensions and irregular shapes (where assembly tolerances need uniformity provided by electroless process). This spec does not specify the phosphorous content in the EN deposit provided it passes 100 hours salt spray test at 1.0 mil for AL and 1.5 mil for steel. Please note: This specification has been re-instated. Rein. Not. 3. |
