Hello Jerome. Actually "Nikasil" is a trademark of Mahle and you cannot do it or claim you offer it without a license. However, there are other companies who offer nickel silicon carbide plating processes or do nickel silicon carbide plating.

Hopefully, some readers will have advise for you. Good luck.
