Process Flow

The Raymond Nickel Plating Equipment Production Line employs a meticulously engineered process flow to ensure optimal nickel coating adhesion and performance. Each stage is precisely controlled to achieve a durable and uniform protective layer, whether through electroplating or electroless plating methods.

Surface Preparation

Workpieces undergo thorough cleaning and degreasing using solvents or alkaline solutions, followed by rinsing and acid activation to remove oxides and prepare the surface for optimal nickel adhesion.

Nickel Plating (Electro or Electroless)

For electroplating, parts are immersed in a nickel electrolyte bath (e.g., Watts or sulfamate bath) with an electric current. For electroless plating, parts are immersed in a chemical bath where nickel is deposited via a chemical reaction without external electricity, ensuring highly uniform thickness.

Rinsing and Post-Treatment

Multiple rinsing steps remove residual plating solution. Depending on the application, post-treatments like heat treatment may be applied to improve hardness and adhesion.

Drying and Inspection

The plated parts are dried, followed by a final inspection to verify coating thickness, adherence, and overall finish, ensuring compliance with quality standards such as ASTM B689-97.

Process Innovation

Our lines feature advanced control systems for precise management of bath chemistry, temperature, and current density, crucial for achieving consistent and high-quality nickel deposits. For electroless nickel, our systems ensure exceptional uniformity even on complex geometries. Automated material handling systems enhance safety and efficiency, minimizing manual intervention and optimizing throughput.
