Key Features of Barken's Hard Chrome Electroless Nickel Plating:

Nickel Phosphorus Plating: Barken's Hard Chrome excels in the deposition of nickel-phosphorus alloys, offering various phosphorus percentages to achieve specific properties such as hardness, corrosion resistance, and magnetic properties. Our expert technicians work closely with clients to determine the optimal phosphorus content for their applications, ensuring the desired performance characteristics are achieved.

High-Phosphorus Electroless Nickel: Our high-phosphorus electroless nickel plating process creates a dense and amorphous coating, delivering exceptional corrosion resistance and uniformity. This type of plating is well-suited for applications in harsh environments that require superior chemical resistance and long-lasting performance.

Low-Phosphorus Electroless Nickel: Barken's Hard Chrome also offers low-phosphorus electroless nickel plating, which provides a harder surface and improved wear resistance. This process results in a semi-bright to bright appearance while maintaining good corrosion resistance. It is particularly suitable for applications that require both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Mid-Phosphorus Electroless Nickel: Our mid-phosphorus electroless nickel plating strikes a balance between hardness and corrosion resistance. This type of plating is commonly used in applications such as molds, dies, and components subjected to wear and tear. It offers reliable protection against corrosion while providing the necessary durability for demanding environments.

Barken's Hard Chrome prides itself not only on its electroless nickel plating services but also on the comprehensive range of value-added services provided to meet specific customer requirements.
