Plating International manufactures and distributes specialty chemicals and equipment to the metal finishing industry. Its One Plate electroless nickel (EN) is a single-component EN that enables manufacturers to use one drum for both makeup and maintenance. According to the company, traditional EN was developed using three components (A, B and C) and makeup between 21-22% by volume. One Plate was developed with just a single component that makes up and replenishes at 15% by volume. Its products are ELV/RoHS compliant and available in low, medium and high phosphorous.

Electroless Nickel Coatings: Appearance, Gloss and Surface Morphology
For decorative coatings, appearance is the essential purpose for application, but also for functional surface finishes it becomes increasingly relevant as an added value on top of specified technical requirements. Appearance is affected by spectrum and intensity of incident light, roughness and morphology of the coating surface, optical properties of the coating material, eventual superficial oxide films, and individual perception. The predominant factor is surface roughness, which in turn depends on base material roughness, quality of substrate pretreatment, and nucleation and growth kinetics of the electroless nickel (EN) deposit. Interdependency of gloss measurements with roughness measurements and with chemical composition of coatings was investigated for new generation mid-P EN processes and compared to traditional ones.

Electroless Nickel-plated Steel versus Stainless Steel: Case Studies
This paper highlights two case studies of manufacturers that have replaced, or done studies to replace, stainless steel with electroless nickel-plated mild steel. In both cases, cost savings could be realized while maintaining or improving product quality.
