Metals & Chemicals

Nickel has an atomic number of 28. It has 28 protons. The atomic weight of nickel is 58.69, and the chemical symbol is Ni. Nickel is magnetic and does not rust very easily. Nickel is a silver white metal. It is used for many industries like electronics, electroforming and automotive markets. Various benefits of nickel include wear resistance, lubricity, tarnish protection, decorative appearance, surface hardness and corrosion protection. Nickel which is used for engineering purposes is often smooth and dull grey in appearance. These nickel deposits are used for wear resistance, hardness, lubricity and magnetic purposes. Nickel plating chemicals and electro less nickel plating chemicals are available in bright, ultra bright and semi bright. Some products that have nickel in it are rechargeable batteries, coins, welding rods and wires, electronic or computer equipment, and pigments for paints or ceramics, jewellery, kitchen tools and coins. The largest use of nickel is to cast iron a...

Plating and anodizing chemicals include metal salts, anode materials, and other consumables for the electro deposition or electroplating of metal films. Electrodeposition is a process that deposits a metal at cathode from a solution of its ions. It places a substrate in a vessel of metallic salt solution and passes an electric current through the container. For electroplating application, plating and anodizing chemicals include the electrode that is to be plated, a plating anode to complete the circuit, an electrolyte that contains metal ions to be deposited, and a direct current source. Plating and anodizing chemicals and its supplies are used in electroplating, electroless plating, metal spraying, electrophoretic and vacuum metallization processes. Electroplating will place the substrate in a jug of metallic salt solution and passes a current through the container. Whereas electroless plating use a water-based reducing agent devoid of an external electrical source. ...
