Materials & Processes
Electroless Nickel (6–9 % P)
Electroless nickel layer with medium phosphorus content for corrosion and wear protection on steel and non-ferrous metals.
Electroless Nickel (10.5–12 % P)
Phosphorus-rich electroless nickel with high corrosion resistance for demanding applications.
Gold Plating
Electroplated gold coating for decorative and functional requirements on contacts and circuit traces.
Steel
The most common substrate material for rack and barrel plating.
Non-ferrous Metals
Substrates such as copper and nickel alloys that are coated.
