difference. At Fiesco Precision, we use precision-controlled annealing processes to give your materials the flexibility, softness, and structural consistency needed for downstream operations and long-term performance.

What Is Nickel Plating?

Nickel plating is a surface finishing process that involves depositing a thin layer of nickel onto a metal object. This is done using electrochemical or electroless methods, depending on the part geometry, material, and desired properties.

The result is a smooth, bright, and corrosion-resistant layer that not only protects the base material but also enhances its appearance and wear life.

Advantages of Nickel Plating

Choosing Fiesco for your nickel plating needs gives you access to:

Excellent corrosion resistance against moisture, chemicals, and wear
High hardness to reduce surface damage
Improved electrical conductivity
Increased surface lubricity
Smooth, mirror-like or matte finish (customizable)
Compatibility with various base metals: steel, brass, copper, aluminum, etc.

Where Nickel Plating Shines

This finish is widely used across industries requiring both aesthetics and function:

  • Automotive & Transport: Pistons, engine parts, fasteners
  • Electronics: Connectors, sensors, terminals
  • Appliances: Handles, knobs, frames
  • Medical Devices: Surgical tools, housings
  • Aerospace: Structural components, fittings
  • Consumer Goods: Jewelry, eyewear, hardware

Our Nickel Plating Process

At Fiesco, our state-of-the-art facilities ensure tight process control, reliable turnaround, and repeatable results:

  1. Degreasing & Cleaning
    Removes oils, dirt, and residues to ensure proper bonding.
  2. Pickling / Etching
    Prepares the surface for even deposition.
  3. Nickel Deposition
    Using an electrolytic bath, nickel is evenly applied to all exposed surfaces.
  4. Rinsing & Drying
    Ensures cleanliness and finish integrity.
  5. Optional Post-Treatment
    Includes passivation, sealing, or heat treatment depending on part requirements.

 

We can offer both bright nickel (for decorative or reflective surfaces) and satin/matte nickel (for subtle, non-glare finishes). Thickness and hardness are tailored to your specific application.
