I'd suggest you spell out exactly what you are trying to achieve here.
"lots of heat" and "non brittle" are rather vague statements.

Sorry I should have told you I am plating on fiberglass and removing it afterwards to have a nickel shell

the nickel plating should be a permenant bond so if you are seeing flaking or peeling the only 2 things i can come up with are either surface prep or plating with too many amps. i havent tried to heat anything i have plated but since you brought it up im gonna place something in an oven to around 500 degress just to see what happens----

Nickel plating to brittle
Can the nickel plating bath be change slightly to make it non brittle. I am not worried about the finish.
Or is there another plating I could use that would take lots of heat and be non brittle?Tags: None
