Custom Parts with Nickel Plating

A high-quality nickel-plated material effectively resists corrosion, safeguarding the underlying metal from environmental damage.

Mekalite produces top-quality nickel-plated materials that are versatile enough to be applied to various base metals and expand their usefulness across different industries. Consistent appearance, chemical stability, and reasonable electrical conductivity are also desirable features.

We ensure that our nickel-plated products resist tarnishing and discoloration, as well as withstand exposure to different substances without degradation. We also strictly ensure that the plated layer adheres firmly to the base metal, ensuring durability and minimizing the risk of peeling or flaking. Mekalite uses advanced technology for efficient and precise nickel plating processes.

More About Nickel Plating

What’s Nickel Plating?

Nickel plating involves immersing a metal object (usually made of copper, brass, or steel) into a solution containing nickel salts. An electrical current is then applied, creating a reaction that deposits a layer of nickel onto the object’s surface.

This process is known as electroplating. The thickness of the nickel layer can be controlled during the plating process, and the properties of the plated item can be customized to specific requirements. Nickel plating serves both functional and aesthetic purposes in various industrial applications.

Advantages of Nickel Plating
