4. Applications in the automotive industry
For many years, carmakers have focused on quality, performance, efficiency and extended warranties.
They have benefited greatly from the use of electroless nickel, thanks to its resistance to corrosion and wear, its lubricity and the rigorous consistency of deposit thickness.
This has improved the performance of various steel and aluminum parts, such as
