How Hardware Startups Use Nickel Plating to Prevent Corrosion
Episode 59 dives into nickel plating — the unsung hero of hardware reliability. Lucas explains why a 30-micron layer of electroless nickel can mean the difference between a product lasting six months and six years, especially in humid or outdoor environments. He breaks down the chemistry: electroless versus electrolytic plating, the role of phosphorus content, and why the process is surprisingly affordable for low-volume runs. Luna asks the question every founder dreads: when do you need to plate, and when can you skip it? They walk through a real scenario — a sensor enclosure deployed in a…
