NiP

Nickel-phosphorus (NiP) is an amorphous or nanocrystalline metal alloy typically produced through electroless plating or thermal deposition processes, combining nickel's corrosion resistance with phosphorus content that modifies hardness and wear resistance. It is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment for protective coatings and surface hardening, where its exceptional wear resistance, low friction, and ability to conform to complex geometries make it preferable to hard chrome plating and other conventional surface treatments. NiP is valued for applications demanding corrosion protection combined with enhanced surface durability, particularly in wet or chemically aggressive environments where conventional coatings would degrade.
