Nickel coating on Aluminum?

Nickel coating on Aluminum?

Nickel coating on Aluminum?

(OP)
Has any one heard of nickel 200 coating on aluminum castings? We have a customer who wants to know if Ni-Al-Bronze can be coated with Ni-200.

Please comment

Thank you

Ni-Al bronze is a copper alloy, not aluminum.  It can be plated.

Nickel coatings can vary greatly in stress. We've had rather absurdly thin nickel coatings that cracked magnet substrates.

Are you sure they aren't referring to weld overlay of areas on the aluminum bronze casting? Ni 200 weld overlays can be applied to aluminum bronze alloys.
