With the recovery of the global manufacturing and trade, the strong demand of automotive industry, aircraft industry and especially the electronic industry, will promote the growth of global plating industry. It is expected that the market size of global plating industry will reach 100 billion yuan in 2020.

At present, electronic industries are the largest terminal users. Circuit boards, electrical connectors and some other similar metal parts need to be electroplated. In addition, the increasing production of the global automotive industry provide a good prospect for electroplating industry, particularly the growing demands for car safety and entertainment systems are very likely to bring a new growth direction for electroplating electronics production. The increasing demand for computer equipment also offer lots of market opportunities for electroplating service suppliers. Regarding the development of burgeoning electronics industry such as micro-optoelectronics industry, electroplating technology is indispensable and most of the modern sensors are adopting electroplating technology.

With the use of new energy sources, blended fuel which contains ethanol and gasoline has been used more and more extensive. However, because the blended fuel will corrode the fuel system, electroless nickel plating process is a good way to solve this problem.

In the automotive industry, electroless nickel plating process, which has very uniform deposit, is used in complex shape parts, for example, gears, radiators and fuel spray nozzles. The aluminum radiator plated approximately 10 um electroless nickel deposit have good solderability. The error of gear is easy to maintain in ±0.3～0.5um after electroless plating. But if adopting electroplating, the eligible range of error cannot reach unless the gear was machined after finishing the eletroless plating process.

The electroless nickel deposit on fuel injector can provide good fuel corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Generally, fuel corrosion and wear would enlarge fuel spray nozzles, both will increase fuel injection quantity and cause horsepower of automobile engine exceed the standard and accelerate the damage of engine. Electroless nickel deposit can effectively prevent corrosion and wear, improve the reliability and the service life of the engine.
