Preguntas frecuentes
Electroless or electroplated nickel?
Electroless deposits evenly on complex shapes and non-conductive substrates, which makes it the choice for bores, internal channels and plated plastics. Electroplating is faster and cheaper for simple conductive parts.
Can aluminium be nickel plated?
Yes, with a zincate pre-treatment that provides adhesion. It is common for aluminium parts needing a hard, wear resistant or solderable surface.
Is nickel plating food safe?
Nickel release is regulated in food contact and skin contact applications, so we recommend checking the standard for your specific use before specifying it.

Anodizing
Type II and Type III anodizing for aluminium: clear, black and colour finishes with improved corrosion and wear resistance, thickness from 5 to 50 µm.
Hard Anodizing
Type III hard anodizing builds a 25-50 µm ceramic-like oxide layer with up to 500 HV surface hardness for wear-critical aluminium parts.
Bead Blasting
Glass bead blasting for a uniform satin finish on metal and plastic parts. Hides tool marks, prepares surfaces for coating and gives a premium matte look.
Sand Blasting
Sand blasting for surface cleaning, descaling and roughening. Removes rust, scale, old coating and oxide before welding, painting or bonding.
Polishing
Mechanical polishing to mirror and optical finishes: Ra down to 0.05 µm for mould cavities, light guides, medical parts and decorative surfaces.
