Electroless Nickel for Friction Control
Electroless nickel coating for outstanding friction control
Nye-Kote™ is one of our exclusive forms of electroless nickel plating. It provides outstanding friction control while also offering extreme hardness, corrosion resistance and uniform thickness for superior component protection. Nye-Kote™'s natural lubricity results in minimal heat buildup and reduced scoring and galling.
Features include:
- High phosphorous content for excellent lubricity
- Superior hardness resists abrasion and impact damage
- Outstanding adhesion with controllable, uniform coating thickness
- Coating conforms to complex geometries
- Corrosion resistance
Friction control and more with electroless nickel
The hardness and uniform thickness of a Nye-Kote™ treated component creates an extraordinarily smooth finish, spreading the effects of friction evenly across a wear surface. Component manufacturers often choose Nye-Kote™ for the additional benefits it offers beyond friction resistance:
- Excellent uniform thickness. Because the coating is applied by chemical reaction rather than an electrical charge (as in electroplating), equal coating density is achieved without respect to the geometry of the object being coated. Our coating experts are able to control chemical reaction in the Nye-Kote™ coating process to deliver highly accurate coating thicknesses to preserve precise component tolerances.
- The high level of phosphorous in a Nye-Kote™ coating makes it very resistant to corrosion. Chemical content of the coating may be adjusted to deliver the level of corrosion resistance desired by an end user.
