ELEKTROFORM is a family-run, mid-sized company specializing in electroplating and electroforming with nickel.
Providing Winning Solutions
Over 30 years ago, ELEKTROFORM made its debut as a qualified leader in the field of nickel coating. The customer was William-Renault. Their need was an engine that could stand up to extreme wear and tear. The solution was ElNiSil---an electrodeposited nickel coating that gave Renault racing cars the competitive edge over the conventional engines of its day and helped them to win the Formula 1 World Championship. Today ELEKTROFORM remains a key leader in providing winning solutions for its customers.
Our services include the electrodeposition of High Grade Nickel, MIKRO-Nickel™, Bright Nickel, Nickel-Cobalt and Nickel-Phosphorus. These custom-made electroformed nickel coatings can reach a thickness of 10 mm – much more than electroless nickel with a maximum thickness of approx. 0.1 mm. Our custom-made coatings can be used:
Serving Micro-System Technology Markets
ELEKTROFORM is the market leader for supplying thick nickel-phosphorus coatings to the micro-system technology markets worldwide.
Applications requiring nano-metric levels of accuracy, e.g. aspheric and freeform optics, microlens arrays and others need precise molds for the manufacturing process. ELEKTROFORM´s thick Nickel-Phosphorous coatings can be single-point diamond turned, grinded and milled on ultra-precision diamond machining systems to serve as inserts for micro-injection molding processes.
