This course is based on the Nickel Plating Handbook, a comprehensive technical reference that compiles established industry knowledge, standards, and best practices related to nickel plating processes and applications.

It provides practical, experience-based guidance for engineers, technicians, quality personnel, and end users involved in the specification, processing, and application of nickel-plated components. The course explains the fundamental principles of nickel plating, including surface preparation, deposition mechanisms, bath chemistry, and process control, and relates these principles directly to coating quality, performance, and service life.

The course focuses on key plating-related topics such as electrolytic and electroless nickel processes, substrate compatibility, thickness control, adhesion, internal stress, hardness, corrosion and wear resistance, post-plating treatments, inspection, and troubleshooting.
