Can the hardness of electroless nickel plating be increased?
Can you increase the hardness of electroless nickel plating with Silvec?
Q: Is it possible to increase the hardness of electroless nickel plating? A: Yes, it is possible. We perform heat treatment (by the supplier) after our electroless nickel plating to achieve the specified hardness (within the lower and upper limits). The Vickers hardness of our electroless nickel is approximately 550 Hv, and there are products that have been treated to over 900 Hv after heat treatment. While heat treatment may cause discoloration of the electroless nickel plating, it does not affect its functional properties such as hardness. If discoloration is absolutely unacceptable, vacuum heat treatment can prevent discoloration; however, we sincerely apologize that we are unable to accommodate this at our company.
