Short answer: Electroless nickel (EN) deposits nickel-phosphorus from an autocatalytic bath with no electric current, so the coating is perfectly uniform across complex shapes, blind holes and threads — unlike electroplating, which throws unevenly. Mid-phosphorus EN is hard and wear-resistant; high-phosphorus EN is amorphous and highly corrosion-resistant. EN is widely used on valves, pumps, moulds and electronics for a hard, solderable, corrosion-proof skin.
