With its multiple physical properties, corrosion resistance, hardness, tensile strength, wear, etc. This is a coating that can be applied in many sectors.
In many cases it is feasible to replace the stainless steel with a electroless nickel plated steel, facilitating the machining of the parts and reducing in many occasions its final cost.
Examples of different sectors and their advantages:
Machine tool: Anticorrosive power for the protection of machines (boat trips or saline environments in general), tight tolerances, interiors of complex geometries completely coated, …
Wind: Wear on moving parts and high anti-corrosion power.
Weapons: Aesthetics, wear, anticorrosive power, …
Aeronautics: Resistance to wear, uniformity, resistance to corrosion, …
Electronics: Non-magnetic coating and easy weldability, …
