Electroless Nickel Plating
Crown offers electroless nickel plating in addition to electrolytic (bright and semi-bright) nickel, at our large, modern facility in Brooklyn (Cleveland), Ohio. If your print calls out electroless nickel, send it with your quote request and we will confirm the process at setup.
We respond to quote requests within 48 hours.
Electroless nickel and electrolytic nickel
They are different processes. Electrolytic nickel uses electric current to deposit the coating. Electroless nickel deposits by a chemical reaction, without that current. Use the process named on your print; they are not interchangeable just because both are nickel.
For bright nickel, semi-bright nickel, and nickel as a layer under chrome, see our nickel plating page. This page is for electroless nickel.
What to send with the quote
Include the base material, a drawing or sample, quantity, part size, and the electroless nickel requirement on your print or specification. If you have an adhesion or thickness requirement, put that in the quote request as well. We confirm those details with you at setup rather than assuming a standard package.
Polishing and buffing, when the part needs them, are done in-house — the same facility as the plating.
