The plating nickel (block) is a high purity non-reactive
nickel material produced in electrowinning method.Cathode nickel
plate in full-size is made in electrowinning method, and cut into
different of sizes from.
The size most suitable for anode basket plating is
*5mm×*5mm. Larger sizes are not commonly used in electroplating,
because large size is easy to form bridge and void in basket.
Since plating nickel (block) is inactive, the plating
solution must have chloride, in order to dissolve it and achieve
**0% anode efficiency.
Block dissolving is non-uniform, and forms small amount of
metallic debris. Due to its consistent high purity and high
thickness, Vale Inco plating nickel (block) is very popular in
ordinary plating.
