What environment can electroless nickel plating be used in?
Compared with other surface treatment methods, electroless nickel plating has a very wide range of applications. Compared with other surface treatment methods, it is more practical. After electroless nickel plating, there are no gaps and no corrosion, so it can be used in harsh environments. The following is Let us introduce what harsh environments it can be used in:
1. The mining industry and the environment of the mining industry can be said to be very harsh, because in the process of underground construction, the underground machinery cannot avoid contact with underground salt water and some mineral acids and other substances, so that the machinery is more prone to moisture, and then slowly. The ground is corroded and damaged. Therefore, mining machinery usually requires metal with strong corrosion resistance, so it is usually selected by electroless nickel-phosphorus plating process for surface treatment protection. Compared with some machinery that has been used outdoors for a long time, its corrosion resistance The mechanical properties are also quite serious, so people usually choose metal parts that have been mechanically processed by electroless nickel-phosphorus plating, which can avoid damage to the parts and prolong the service life of the machinery.
2. High-pressure hydraulic cylinder, high-pressure hydraulic cylinder refers to working in a high-pressure environment, so it is also quite strict on the parts, because it has to be stretched in a high-pressure environment for a long time, and some parts are not sloppy, so Generally, parts that have been protected by electroless nickel-phosphorus plating are used. When it is stretched in a high-pressure environment, it will not crack and prolong its service life. Therefore, in this case, generally It should be protected by a 25um thick compressive stress high-phosphorus electroless nickel-plated film.
