The 1mm pure nickel plates are composed of numerous thin nickel layers compressed together through an annealing process. By using SHONAN pure nickel, you can provide a high-luster finish, corrosion protection, and wear resistance to hand tools and household items such as lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, wire racks, and appliances through nickel electroplating.

Before the plating process can begin, parts must be clean and free from dirt, corrosion, and defects. A combination of heat treating, cleaning, masking, pickling, and etching might be employed to clean and protect the part during the plating process. Once prepared, the part is immersed in an electrolyte solution and serves as the cathode. The nickel anode dissolves into the electrolyte, forming nickel ions that travel through the solution and deposit onto the cathode.
