Luma Wire Tech provides precision nickel plating solutions for fine wire applications requiring enhanced adhesion, corrosion protection, and long-term surface stability.
Using advanced reel-to-reel electroplating technology, we apply highly controlled nickel coatings to ultra-fine wire dimensions ranging from 5 to 200 microns. Nickel is widely used as both a functional surface coating and an adhesion-promoting intermediate layer, providing an excellent foundation for subsequent precious metal coatings such as gold, palladium, or rhodium.
Its combination of strong adhesion, corrosion resistance, wear performance, and diffusion barrier properties helps maintain coating integrity and long-term reliability in demanding operating environments. As both a standalone coating and an intermediate layer, nickel plating supports applications across electronics, aerospace, sensors, industrial equipment, and other advanced engineering systems.
Whether improving surface durability or preparing wire for additional plating, Luma develops nickel plating solutions tailored to each customer’s technical and operational requirements.
Nickel plating is often selected when applications require a robust and reliable surface capable of withstanding demanding environments. In addition to improving corrosion resistance and wear performance, nickel can act as an effective diffusion barrier in multilayer coating systems and provide a stable foundation for precious metal coatings. These characteristics make nickel plating a widely used solution in electronic, industrial, sensing, and aerospace applications.
