Due to the excellent comprehensive physical and chemical properties of the electroless nickel plating layer, such as uniformity, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, this technology has been widely applied. Currently, it is almost impossible to find an industry that does not adopt the electroless nickel plating technology. In this issue's article, we will introduce the application of electroless nickel plating solution in the automotive industry.
Solving the problem of using mixed fuels of ethanol and gasoline is one of the development trends in the automotive industry. Besides performance issues, the use of mixed fuels also leads to corrosion problems in the fuel system.
In Brazil, the use of ethanol as automotive fuel and the application of electroless nickel plating technology to protect zinc die-castings, such as carburetors, from corrosion have become process norms.
In the United States, when methanol or a mixture of methanol and gasoline is widely used as fuel, the automotive industry is bound to apply electroless nickel plating as a surface protection measure for carburetors and fuel pump delivery systems.
The planetary gear shaft of the differential is an important part of a car and is coated with a 25-micron-thick electroless nickel plating layer to enhance its wear resistance. Some automobile manufacturers use a polytetrafluoroethylene composite electroless nickel plating layer process on the shafts. This composite coating not only has a certain hardness but also has good self-lubricating performance, which increases the service life of the shafts.
The automotive industry takes advantage of the highly uniform electroless nickel plating layer to protect complex-shaped parts such as gears, radiators and fuel injectors with the electroless nickel plating process.
