Feature
Good hardness and wear resistance: Electroplating nickel treatment can significantly improve the hardness and wear resistance of the shrapnel, extend its service life, and reduce damage caused by scratches, friction, etc.
Good electrical conductivity: Nickel is a good conductive material. The shrapnel after nickel plating can maintain good electrical conductivity and ensure smooth current conduction.
Uniform and stable quality: The electroplating nickel coating is uniform and stable, ensuring that the performance of the shrapnel is stable and reliable, and improving product quality.
Good environmental protection: Compared with other metal surface treatment processes, the electroplating nickel process is relatively environmentally friendly and meets modern environmental protection requirements.
Application
For example, in a smartphone, nickel-plated shrapnel can serve as the connection point between the battery and the motherboard. They must be flexible enough to cope with frequent connections and disconnections while maintaining good electrical contact. In addition, the nickel coating can prevent the shrapnel from corroding during long-term use, thereby extending the life of the device.
In electric vehicles (EVs), these shrapnels play an especially critical role. Not only do they need to handle higher currents, but they also have to operate in more demanding environments, such as high temperatures and vibrations. Therefore, nickel-plated shrapnel plays a vital role in EV battery packs, ensuring that electrical energy is safely and efficiently transmitted from the battery to the car’s drive system.
