Shaarawy Industries provides finishings that perform. Our fully automated nickel plating line delivers unmatched consistency, superior corrosion resistance, and enhanced wear resistance for a wide range of components. This automated process is essential for extending the life and improving the performance of brass fittings, automotive parts, precision machinery components, and plastic parts . We ensure every batch meets exact specifications for thickness, adhesion, and appearance, providing a flawless finish that protects and enhances your products.

The Power of Automated Precision

Unmatched Consistency

Automated robotic handling ensures each part spends the exact required time in each tank, guaranteeing uniform coating thickness and composition across the entire batch.

Enhanced Quality & Purity

A controlled, automated environment minimizes the risk of contamination (like oils or particles), which is critical for achieving high-performance coatings with excellent adhesion.

High-Volume Capacity

Our automated line is engineered for efficiency, providing rapid turnaround on large-volume orders without sacrificing quality.

Repeatable Results

Once parameters are set for your project, the system replicates them perfectly for every order, ensuring you receive identical results every time.

Quality Assurance

By implementing this rigorous QC regimen, you can guarantee your nickel-plated components offer lasting protection and reliability.

Pre-Treatment Inspection

● Process: Parts are visually inspected for surface defects like cracks, deep scratches, or contamination before plating.
● Proper cleaning is verified through a water break test, where a continuous film of water (and not beading) indicates a clean surface.

In-Process Controls

● Bath Chemistry Control: This is the most critical step. We automatically monitor and adjust the plating solution parameters multiple times per day.
● Parameters Checked: pH levels, temperature, nickel concentration, and replenisher/additive levels.
● Hull Cell Tests: Small-scale plating tests are performed regularly to visually confirm the bath is producing a quality deposit

Post-Plating Inspection

● Adhesion Test (Bend Test, Tape Test per ASTM B571): The coating is bent or cross-hatched and subjected to a tape pull to ensure it does not flake or peel from the substrate.

Testing

● Thickness Verification (X-Ray Fluorescence - XRF): An XRF gauge is used to provide a non-destructive, highly accurate measurement of coating thickness on the part, ensuring it meets the specified requirement.
● Salt Spray Testing (ASTM B117): Sample parts from the batch are placed in a salt spray chamber to accelerate corrosion and validate that the coating meets the specified hours to white or red rust.

Comprehensive Documentation

● Certificates of Compliance: Each order ships with a certificate that records the key QC data, including lot number, thickness measurements, and salt spray results.
● Traceability: Batch records are maintained, linking finished parts back to the specific plating run and chemistry logs, providing full traceability for our clients.

On-Time Delivery

● Your finished, certified parts are carefully packaged and delivered as promised.
