Semi-Bright and Bright Nickel Plating

Semi-Bright and Bright Nickel Plating

Electrolytic nickel plating deposits a durable layer of nickel onto metal parts to improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and appearance. Depending on the additives use din the plating bath, the deposit can be semi-bright or bright, and the two are often combined for the best overall performance. At Balambiga Metal Finishers, we offer both finishes to suit your functional and decorative needs.

Component

Better Together: Duplex Nickel Systems

Applying bright nickel over semi-bright nickel creates a duplex coating. The two layers work together to give a brilliant finish and stronger corrosion resistance than a single layer alone, which is why the combination is widely used for decorative and automotive parts.
