Tiny bore Nikasil application




2003

Can Nikasil be applied inside of an aluminum bore that is approx. 8-10 mm in dia. by 25.4 mm long in a mass production environment? The surface is currently mirror finished.

Thank You,

Hi, Gary.

I suppose anything is possible, including plating these components with an auxiliary anode through the middle of them, but I think an electroless nickel composite plating would be easier.
