Electroless Nickel Plating Services for Aluminum Die Cast Components
Electroless nickel plating is an auto-catalytic reaction that deposits a nickel coating on a substrate, such as aluminum die casting components. Unlike electroplating, passing an electric current through the solution is unnecessary to form a deposit. This plating technique prevents corrosion and wear.

Why Use Electroless Nickel Plating Services for Aluminum Die Cast Parts?
Electroless nickel plating has several advantages compared to electroplating. Electroless nickel plating services are free from flux-density and power supply issues, allowing for even distribution regardless of workpiece geometry. Electroless nickel plating can be deposited on non-conductive surfaces with the proper pre-plate catalyst. Electroless nickel plating techniques can also be used to manufacture composite coatings by suspending powder in the bath.
Electroless Nickel Plating Advantages
Electroless nickel plating services for aluminum die cast parts create a barrier on the substrate and maximize the objects’ surface corrosion resistance. Additional electroless nickel plating benefits include:
- Superior bond strength to base metal
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- Deposits nickel uniformly in thickness and volume
- Heat resistant up to 540°C (1000°F)
- Conforms to the shape of the object
- Good durability
Other Surface Finishing Options
Surface finishing is a secondary service that significantly benefits die cast or CNC machined parts. Surface finishes provide your part with an increased cosmetic appeal, protection from corrosion, and surface porosity sealing. SKS also provides the following surface finishing options:
- Alodine
- Powder Coating (PC)
- NCP
- E-Coating
- Aluminum Anodizing
- Cerakote
- Impregnation
