Non-magnetic Plating on Stainless Steel




I am looking for a non-magnetic plating to be applied to AISI 430F stainless steel for an electro-magnetic design. The plating is being used specifcally to keep an air gap of the 7 to 10 micron range between magnetic materials in a solenoid application. It is not being used for corrosion resistance. Tin-Zinc has been offered, however, I was hoping something more readily available would be suggested.

Most of the electroplated metals and alloys are non-magnetic (copper, zinc, tin, brass, bronze, chrome, some nickel alloys, and of course the precious and semi-precious metals). What other restrictions do you have, hardness, temperature, electrical properties, complex geometry, dimensional control?

High Phosphorous Electroless Nickel is non magnetic and will evenly coat the parts.
