1.1 Purpose:
This specification covers the engineering requirements for electrodeposition of a hard nickel and the
properties of the deposit.
1.2 Application:
This process has been used typically to provide good wear resistance to metal parts which may
operate in service up to 450 °F (232 °C), but usage is not limited to such applications. Diffusion heat
treatment of the deposit is not required.
1.3 Safety - Hazardous Materials:
While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this
specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the
hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure
familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary
precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
