Electroless Nickel Plating is a process for depositing a Nickel alloy from aqueous solutions onto a substrate without the use of electric current. Electroless Nickel differs therefore from electroplating which depends upon an external source of direct current to reduce Nickel ions in the electrolyte to nickel metal on the substrate. Electroless Nickel Plating is a chemical process which reduces Nickel ions in solution to nickel metal by chemical reduction.
Electroless Nickel has unique properties such as thickness uniformity, hardness, extreme corrosion protection and its magnetic properties. Schumacher Company has some of the largest High-Phosphorus Electroless Nickel plating tanks and capacity in the United States. We also have the expertise to provide specialized masking and selectively plate only the areas you need to meet your part requirements.

As with any technology, improving goes beyond the process itself. The degree of technical development, production experience and operational equipment determine the skill and competence of the system. The backbone of our system is the skill and experience of our dedicated and loyal personnel, without whom these improvements would not be possible.
