Electroless nickel plating steel parts
Electroless nickel plating steel parts
(OP)
I have a steel plate with many drilled and tapped holes that I want to plate .003 thick. How and what material do I use to plug the tapped holes so they do not get plated undersize?

Just tell the plater which holes to plate and which to mask/plug. Also, where you want the parting line if some are countersunk or have o-ring lands. Also, for heavy parts, let the plater know preferred support points.
SOP for platers.

Acquaint your plating vendor with the MIL & ASTM specs.
MlL-C-26074E
"3.3.2 Thickness. Unless otherwise specified. minimum thickness of the nickel coating shall be... 0.0015 inch (0.039 mm) (grade C) for iron-based alloys."
ASTM B733 has more options, but for 'SC4 Severe Service,' 75 microns or 0.003" is required.
