As a Marketing Executive at CBE+, I’m not often involved in the costing side of the business. However, a recent curiosity about the cost benefits of our Electroless Nickel Plating (ENP) service led me to an eye-opening discovery. Specifically, I wondered how much money our ENP process could save compared to manufacturing components from stainless steel.
For those unfamiliar, manufacturing a component from mild steel and adding 75 microns of ENP provides the same corrosion resistance properties as stainless steel, especially in demanding environments. So, why would you choose the ENP route? The answer is simple: to save money.
I decided to explore this further with our technical estimators, and the results were surprising. Here’s what we found:
To put this into perspective, if you were ordering 100 of these parts, you’d save a substantial £3,400, all while achieving extremely similar results for your application.
Of course, the technical team pointed out that this calculation applies to a relatively simple part. More complex components could incur additional costs, but as a basic example, it’s a compelling case.
Electroless Nickel Plating isn’t just about cost savings. It also offers other benefits, including:
At CBE+, we’ve seen countless examples of ENP delivering value to our customers. Whether it’s reducing costs or enhancing the performance of critical components, ENP offers a smart alternative for manufacturers across various sectors.
