Nickel plating

Do you want to better protect your metal product against wear and corrosion? Nickel plating is a process in which a thin layer of nickel is applied to metal to increase its lifespan and durability. PTB Machinefabriek offers this surface treatment as part of a larger production process, for example in machining, machine building, or assembly. This ensures you receive a perfectly coordinated end product.

What is nickel plating?

Nickel plating involves applying a thin layer of nickel to a metal product to protect it from external influences and improve its technical properties. It prevents corrosion, increases wear resistance, and provides a smooth, even finish that is both functional and aesthetically appealing. PTB applies both electroless and electrolytic nickel plating: electroless plating is ideal for complex shapes, while electrolytic plating is suitable for simpler parts requiring high wear resistance. The most appropriate method depends on the intended use and the requirements of the final product, and we are happy to advise you on this. Unlike galvanizing, which is usually done with zinc, nickel plating uses nickel for enhanced wear resistance.

Nickel plating as part of a complete process

At PTB, we do not view nickel plating as a standalone service, but as part of an integrated production process. For example, we combine it with metalworking, CNC machining, or machine construction. This results in shorter lead times and a final product that seamlessly meets your technical specifications. Whether we carry out the treatment in our own machine park or in cooperation with a specialized partner, you always have a single point of contact. We safeguard quality, ensure alignment with the material and application, and take full control of the execution. This guarantees a treatment that is technically sound and fits perfectly within the bigger picture.
