Nickel plating and galvanic nickel plating of components
Nickel plating for maximum corrosion resistance and wear protection
Nickel plating of components to improve corrosion resistance, hardness and abrasion resistance, wear protection and resistance to many acids and alkalis. Nickel plating for telecommunications, electronics, precision mechanics, the automotive industry and machine and equipment construction.
Due to its special properties, nickel is particularly suitable for many applications as a coating metal by electroplating. The physical and good mechanical properties such as hardness, wear resistance, tensile strength, good ductility, smooth and leveling layers make nickel deposits indispensable for functional coatings.
Performance overview for nickel plating:
- Use mainly as a barrier layer for further coatings
- Nickel plating of small to very small connectors by barrel plating
- Nickel plating of complicated geometric components and individual parts
- Manual electroplating of single parts or small barrel plating lines for small quantities
- Special sizes available on request and according to part geometry
In the decorative sector, the white, silver-like colour with matt to glossy layers and good appearance as well as corrosion protection is in demand. Nickel is easy to polish and has very good resistance to most organic compounds.

Nickel plating materials
Nickel plating is a process that protects and improves surfaces. Galvanic nickel plating creates an even, durable layer of nickel that protects the base material from corrosion and wear. Galvanic nickel plating is particularly indispensable in industry, as it extends the service life of components and increases their functionality.
Corrosion-resistant nickel plating provides reliable protection against moisture, acids and mechanical stress. Nickel plating brass, for example, produces a hard, abrasion-resistant surface with a uniform shine.
Our company, Dresdner Silber und Metallveredlung GmbH, is your reliable nickel plating provider for high-quality surface coating with years of experience. You can have your components of all types and quantities nickel-plated by us to optimize their resistance and durability.

Questions and answers about nickel plating
What is nickel plating?
Nickel plating is a process in which metal surfaces are coated with a layer of nickel. This galvanic nickel plating protects the material from corrosion, increases wear resistance and improves conductivity. Galvanic nickel plating provides a long-lasting protective layer, especially for components made of steel, copper or brass.
Corrosion-resistant nickel plating significantly extends the service life of components. Nickel electroplating is indispensable in the electronics, automotive and mechanical engineering industries because it can withstand mechanical stress. This technique is also used for decorative purposes, for example to nickel plate brass and thus achieve a shiny appearance.

What are the advantages of galvanic nickel plating?
Galvanic nickel plating creates an even and smooth surface. This improves adhesion for further layers if, for example, a combination with chrome is desired. Compared to alternative coatings, nickel electroplating is particularly economical and efficient as it evenly coats complicated components.
Nickel electroplating also has many advantages over other surface finishes. One of the most important properties is the high resistance to corrosion, chemicals and abrasion. Corrosion-resistant nickel plating lasts an extremely long time, especially in damp or aggressive environments.
We are an experienced provider of nickel plating and will be happy to support you with your individual requirements.

Which metals can be refined by nickel plating?
Nickel plating is suitable for many metals, especially steel, copper and brass. Especially if you want to nickel plate brass, this process provides a durable protective layer against oxidation. The same applies to steel, which becomes more resistant through nickel electroplating.
A major advantage of nickel electroplating is that even complicated geometries can be evenly coated. This plays a major role in industry, for example for electronic parts or mechanical components. Thanks to our experience as a nickel plating supplier, we guarantee precise and high-quality results for every application.

How does the nickel plating process work?
Nickel plating is a precise electrochemical process. The component is immersed in a nickel bath, which is activated by an electric current. In nickel electroplating, the nickel ions are deposited evenly on the surface of the workpiece. Depending on the requirements of your components, a thin or thicker layer can be applied. High precision is particularly important in nickel plating for industrial applications.
Our company offers you galvanic nickel plating for a wide range of components or decorative purposes.
