Electroless Nickel (EN) plating process is an alloy treatment method designed to increase the hardness and resistance in a metal.
It does not involve passing of electric current through the bath solution to initiate the plating process but rather goes through a series of cleaning and auto-catalytic reactions.
Electroless nickel plating can be deposited at a rate of 5 microns per hour all the way up to 25 microns per hour. Since it is a continuous process that builds on itself the thickness of the coating is essentially limitless. As thickness increases however, minute imperfections become more apparent.
