It is one of only four elements that are ferromagnetic, meaning they are attracted to magnets and are magnetic themselves. Nickel belongs to the transition metals and is hard and ductile. It is also often used as a barrier layer such as between copper and gold to prevent migrations of the two materials. Application In chemical, pharmaceutical & petrochemical industries nickel plating is used for its special properties, such as hardness or corrosion resistance. Electronics applications range from very large electronic pieces to nano-scale technology. Our Expertise TPG have a number of processes available to electroplate nickel (including stress free nickel) using jigs, barrel and selective / all over reel to reel plating.
