Electroless nickel plating specifications the two most common electroless nickel plating services certified by advanced plating technologies are mil c 26074 astm b733 and ams 2404.
Nickel plating aluminum specification.
If you are involved with nickel plating or specify nickel plating you should be familiar with this specification.
Nickel deposits containing dispersed submicron particles.
Electroless nickel plating on aluminum comply with mil c 26074 ams c 26074 astm b733 and ams 2404 electroless nickel plating aluminum produces very uniform hard and lubricious coatings without an externally applied electric current.
Our series 200 electroless nickel plating coatings are applied via a time controlled deposition process which allows us to specify a wide range of thicknesses and hold tight tolerances.
Astm b733 also specifies five 5 types of electroless nickel plating.
Color will vary with alloy aluminum with low alloying elements will show practically no color change best coating on aluminium for dyeing.
Can be similar in color to.
Nickel can be deposited soft or hard dull or bright depending upon process used and conditions employed in plating.
Depending on your application requirements we routinely apply coatings as thin as 0 0002 per surface or as thick as 0 002 per surface holding tolerancing.
While aluminum features a high strength to weight ratio it is softer than many other metals.
Can be dyed practically any coloror shade black blu red etc type ii 00020 0010.
Within the astm b733 electroless nickel plating specification there is an additional category known as service condition.
The astm specification also discusses testing methods and sampling requirements.
Nickel deposits containing various types of additives.
The nickel plating shall have columnarcrystalline structure before anneating.

A nickel plated coating will increase the hardness of the aluminum alloy substrate and increase corrosion resistance.
Thus hardness can range from 150 1500 vickers.
Apt also can certify electroless nickel plating services to iso 4527 and ams 2405 as well as most company specific electroless nickel specifications.
Classes grades of sulfamate nickel plating.
