Partner with Raymond for a reliable and high-performance electroless nickel plating solution that elevates your product quality and extends component lifespan.
The Raymond Electroless Nickel Plating Equipment Production Line follows a precise, multi-stage process to ensure the uniform and high-quality deposition of nickel-phosphorus coatings.
Workpieces undergo thorough cleaning, including degreasing, rinsing, and acid activation, to remove contaminants and prepare the surface for optimal adhesion. This crucial step ensures a pristine and active substrate for plating.
For certain substrates (e.g., non-conductive materials), a catalytic activation step may be required to initiate the autocatalytic deposition process. This typically involves applying a thin layer of a noble metal catalyst.
The prepared parts are immersed in the electroless nickel plating bath. This bath contains nickel ions, a reducing agent (e.g., sodium hypophosphite), complexing agents, and stabilizers. Nickel is deposited onto the surface through a chemical reduction reaction, without external electricity.
After achieving the desired coating thickness, the parts move through multiple rinsing stages to thoroughly remove any residual plating solution, preventing contamination and ensuring cleanliness.
Depending on application requirements, parts may undergo post-treatment processes such as baking for hydrogen embrittlement relief, heat treatment to increase hardness, or passivation for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Finally, the parts are dried using hot air blowers or other suitable drying methods. Once dry, the finished electroless nickel-plated parts are ready for inspection, packaging, or further assembly.
Raymond Electroless Nickel Plating Equipment Production Lines are engineered for superior performance, reliability, and adaptability, incorporating advanced features inspired by global industry leaders.

I. Introduction of chemical nickel plating technology
Electroless nickel plating is a kind of surface treatment technology that deposits nickel layer on the metal surface only by chemical reaction without external power supply. It has the advantages of simple process, uniform coating, strong corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, etc. It is widely used in electronics, aviation, automobile, machinery and other fields.
II. Composition of electroless nickel plating equipment production line
1. Pre-treatment equipment: including cleaning, degreasing, descaling and other processes, used to remove the dirt and oxides on the metal surface, to provide a clean substrate for the subsequent nickel plating process.
2. Electroless nickel plating tank: It is the core equipment in the production line, used for electroless nickel plating reaction. The bath is filled with plating solution, and by controlling the temperature, pH, concentration and other parameters of the plating solution, the nickel layer is deposited on the metal surface under the catalytic effect.
3. Automatic control system: It is used to monitor and control the operation of the whole production line, including the circulation, stirring, heating and cooling processes of the plating solution, as well as the detection and adjustment of the thickness of the plating layer.
4. Post-treatment equipment: including cleaning, drying, polishing and other processes used to remove the residues on the surface of the plated layer and improve the finish and beauty of the plated layer.
