J.J. Plank-Plank Plating

Plank Bright

Plank Bright Electroless Nickel plating yields a 3-6% phosphorus coating with a 63 Rockwell 'C' Scale Hardness. Our unique process produces a mirror bright finish, with an average plating speed of 0.9 mil/hr. Plank Bright deposits are ideal for wear applications, and when heat treatment is not possible or practical. Field performance is similar to more expensive EN-Boron films and superior to other Ni-P coatings.

Plank Bright Electroless nickel plating can provide extremely bright decorative Electroless nickel plating finishes using a proprietary plating process, as well as a comprehensive range of engineered nickel plating systems, for high performance requirements. As nickel finishes become brighter, there is a corresponding increase in hardness and a decrease in ductility. Bright nickel finishes, therefore, are not recommended when parts are intended for applications demanding flexure, or when bending or crimping operations will follow Electroless nickel plating.
