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.

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
