Nickel is ferromagnetic at or near room temperature.

The purity of the nickel anodes or sheets from SHONAN is higher than 99.6% nickel. With SHONAN pure nickel, you can offer a high luster finish, corrosion protection and wear resistance to your hand tools and household items such as lighting and plumbing fixtures, wire racks, and appliances through nickel electroplating.

Nickel electroplating is the process of depositing nickel onto a metal part. Parts to be plated must be clean and free of dirt, corrosion, and defects before plating can begin. To clean and protect the part during the plating process, a combination of heat treating, cleaning, masking, pickling, and etching may be used. Once the piece has been prepared, it is immersed in an electrolyte solution and is used as the cathode. The nickel anode is dissolved into the electrolyte to form nickel ions. The ions travel through the solution and deposit on the cathode.

• Nickel plating used in coinage: Most coins are plated with a nickel layer to increase their corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
• Nickel plating in the automotive industry: Nickel coatings on automotive bolts, fasteners, and parts provide valuable benefits in terms of aesthetics and durability.
• Nickel plating in electronics: With SHONAN nickel anodes or sheets, you can improve the reliability, corrosion resistance and high weldability of your electronic parts such as connectors, and contacts.
