Weldability

One of the characteristics that lends a coating particular performance is its ability to be welded with metals and metal alloys. In this sense, Niploy, an electroless nickel plating technique developed by Argos, guarantees perfect welding with silver and tin-lead alloys. The use of very thin layers, on the order of less than 10 microns, permits soldering of stainless steel and aluminium.

With the possibility of welding metals and metal alloys, Niploy coating offers high resistance to corrosion and wear, as well as allowing different choices according to individual needs.

Its array of applications is therefore very broad, ranging from micromechanics (pins and needles for pharmaceuticals, for example) to more complex and larger structures such as shafts and cylinders.

Specifically, the areas of interest include:

• Food
• Chemicals/pharmaceuticals
• Oil & Gas
• Printing & Textiles
• Packaging
• Automotive
• Aeronautics & Aerospace
