5. Aerospace applications
The electroless nickel industry has shown a keen interest in electroless nickel for many years. Its excellent functional properties and rigorous thickness consistency (even on complex-shaped parts) have justified the interest of engineers and designers.
However, this delayed the development of nickel plating, as the absolute rule in the industry is that any new process must be thoroughly tested over a long period of time. Today, it is widely used in many applications.
5.1 Engine and ancillary parts maintenance
Initially, the main interest in electroless nickel plating arose from engine overhaul and maintenance programs.
Engine components often need to be "refreshed". The technical cooperation established over...
