Benefit
Nickel coatings can be very hard and durable, and are often used in applications requiring wear resistance. Nickel has a wide range of properties depending on how it is applied. The nickel layer can be decorative or "bright," provide corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or used to build up worn or undersized parts. It is often used as an undercoating.

Features of nickel plating:
- Provides bright or dull corrosion protection for polished or unpolished wrought or cast brass, aluminum, copper, zinc, carbon and stainless steel.
- Provides excellent corrosion resistant coating over cosmetic copper plate and as undercoat for decorative chromium.
- Excellent electrical conductivity.
- Serves as a barrier layer for migration of other coatings.
- Can be used in making paint masks for decorating commercial products.
- Can be used for engineering purposes in machinery building.
