rust?<\/summary><p>Yes, an intact nickel coating limits moisture reaching steel. Pinholes or scratches expose the steel, so thickness and porosity must match the environment.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>How thick should nickel plating be?<\/summary><p>Specify the thickness at functional measurement points on the drawing. The target depends on corrosion exposure, wear, geometry and any final grinding allowance.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Can aluminum be nickel plated?<\/summary><p>Yes. Aluminum needs oxide removal and a qualified intermediate treatment, such as zincate followed by a suitable strike, to achieve adhesion.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Is nickel plating RoHS compliant?<\/summary><p>Nickel is not one of the substances restricted by RoHS. Compliance of the finished part still depends on all materials, chemicals and the required declaration.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Can nickel-plated parts be painted?<\/summary><p>Yes. Clean and prepare the nickel surface, then use a compatible primer or coating system to establish adhesion.<\/p><\/details>\n        <details><summary>How should nickel-plated parts be cleaned?<\/summary><p>Use mild detergent, water and a soft cloth, then dry the part. Avoid abrasive pads and aggressive chemicals that damage the finish.<\/p><\/details>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"cta\"><div><p class=\"eyebrow light\">READY TO QUOTE?<\/p><h2>Machining, Plating and Inspection in One Project<\/h2><p>Send your drawing and requirements.
