Summary for nickel cobalt alloy plating Discussion
Nickel cobalt alloy plating is the topic of this short question from Vikram, who asks how to plate a 10% or 20% nickel-cobalt deposit that is hard and stress free. The thread excerpt provided contains only the question and no visible replies, so there is no documented recommendation, process chemistry, or operating guidance to summarize from answerers. Based on the question alone, the practical need is for a plating process that can reliably produce a hard, low-stress nickel-cobalt alloy at the desired cobalt level. Because no answers are included in the excerpt, any specific bath or parameter advice would be unsupported here.
Q. We wish to plate Nickel Cobalt alloy (10%, 20%). The deposit should be hard, stress free.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, VIKRAM

A. Dear Mr. Dogra,
We have done in the past some work for a local customer with a continuous plating (strip line) Ni-Co bath. The job was specific for the manufacturing of battery bodies requiring deep stamping as well as an specific electric characteristic.

A. It should be no problem, Ni/Co is used in many applications.

RFQ: Does anyone know of a supplier of Nickel-Cobalt plating equipment, solutions, or any shop that can do a small experimental run?
