NiCoForm will help you rebuild worn or undersized components by electroplating a tightly adherent layer of stress-free, machinable and weldable NiColoy® on accurately masked undersized surfaces.
After plating, the parts can be ground, milled or EDM machined to the required size. We can also apply a wear-resistant NiColoy® coating to new tooling after the final machining to assure longer tool life, high corrosion resistance and improved mold release characteristics. Copper and brass parts will benefit the most from a NiColoy® coating protecting them from excessive wear and erosion during molding.
Read more about electroforming for mold repair in the Technical Papers section and download a slide show on the topic.
When NiCoForm restores your critical parts:
- Mold components are quickly rebuilt at a fraction of the cost of new parts
- Unlike welding, electroplating is done at a low temperature (<50 Deg. C), preventing heat distortions and loss of material strength
- Internal surfaces and threads can be uniformly built up
We can plate on the following substrates:
- Tool steels - S 7, H 13, A 2, P 20 and many others
- Stainless steels - 300 and 400 series and others
- Titanium alloys
- Brass, Copper and its alloys
- NiColoy®, Nickel and many others
Please note:
EDM'd surfaces need to be stoned or sanded prior to plating to remove the burnt-in 'skin' that compromises adhesion of the plated layer
