Nickel Plating - Sulfamate

QQ-N-290 and AMS 2424

Sulfamate nickel plating, also called ductile nickel, is an electro-chemical process which deposits a thin layer of nickel on a metal base. It is used primarily for functional purposes like corrosion protection and salvaging parts. It can be applied in thicknesses from 0.00005" to 0.050".

Sulfamate nickel is soft enough to machine. Because it can be built up heavy, it is used to salvage undersize parts when a hard surface is not required. It is also used for corrosion protection of parts which stretch or move because the soft nickel is ductile and will bend without cracking.

It should be noted that the coating thickness is not uniform on all surfaces. As is usual in electroplating the high current density areas (edges, points, top or bottom) builds up faster than the low current density areas (recessed areas, inside corners, center of plates.) This becomes more evident as the thickness of the coating increases.
