Electroless Nickel Plating
EN Plating is often used on parts in corrosive environments such as oil drilling and coal mining.
- + More corrosion resistance than industrial hard chrome
- + Offers uniform coverage of parts with irregular shapes
- + Process may allow for coating multiple parts at once
- – Less durability with a softer coating
Industrial Hard Chrome Plating
Hard chrome plating is often used by clients for repair of hydraulic parts.
- + Durable, with high wear and tear resistance
- + Improves lubricity by reducing friction
- – Will show surface roughness and defects
- – Labor intensive: often coating one part at a time
