Pure nickel is very hard, ductile, shiny, resistant to corrosion, and has a silvery-white color. Thanks to these extraordinary properties, nickel is often utilized in surface engineering and coating ...

The electroplating intermediate is a material used in the electroplating process to adjust characteristics such as grain size, gloss, thickness and plating speed. Most of them are configured as ...

EK has announced that it plans to improve the nickel-plating process it uses when manufacturing its waterblocks. We previously reported that the waterblock manufacturer had halted production of its ...

The use of electroless nickel (EN) plating as a method for providing lightweight materials with higher durability, greater corrosion performance, and enhanced fuel efficiencies was introduced more ...

When it comes to engines, wear is the enemy. Many parts are victim to friction, but the cylinder walls are some of the unluckiest areas of an engine. With each rotation the piston rings scrape up and ...

Applications for 3D printing are growing at dizzying speed. One new strategy, however, stands out because it marries plastics, 3D printing and electroplating to easily create a complex research ...
