electroless nickel boron

Nickel Boron coating Withstands the most extreme wear

A hard alternative to chromium plating, electroless nickel boron (NiB) plating is not only a proprietary, wear-resistant KC Jones solution, but has a lower environmental impact too. At KC Jones, we pride ourselves on being a global leader in nickel boron technology and one of the only finishing companies providing electroless nickel boron to meet any surface finishing requirement.

KC JONES NICKEL BORON COATING ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR HARD CHROME:

  • Outperforms hard chrome and nickel phosphorous coating
  • Withstands high temperatures (melting point of 1080°C)
  • Provides greater abrasion and wear resistance
  • Increases ductility (due to unique columnar structure)
  • Has high hardness (Rockwell 70 C +)
  • Low coefficient of friction (rivals EN – Teflon™)
  • No hydrogen embrittlement (per ASTM 519)
  • Heat dissipation properties
