Hard Skills
IntermediateElectroless Nickel PlatingThe process of applying a nickel-phosphorus alloy onto a substrate through a controlled chemical reduction without the use of electrical current.
AdvancedBath Chemistry ManagementThe practice of monitoring and adjusting pH, temperature, and concentration of plating solutions to maintain chemical balance and deposition rates.
BasicSubstrate Pre-treatmentMethods including degreasing, acid pickling, and activation used to prepare metal surfaces for optimal coating adhesion.
IntermediateCoating Thickness MeasurementUsing specialized tools like X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) or magnetic gauges to verify that plating meets specified thickness tolerances.
IntermediateHazardous Waste DisposalKnowledge of environmental regulations and safety protocols for handling and disposing of spent plating baths and heavy metal sludge.
