With the online calculator presented below, you can determine the dimensional
tolerances of shafts and holes.
This tool takes into consideration the coatings applied to mechanical parts,
allowing you to calculate the dimensional tolerances needed in pre-treatment
machining, in order to ensure the correct tolerance of the finished part after
surface treatment.
Regarding the electroless nickel plating, the treatment thickness is entirely added thickness. The dimensions will need to be recalculated considering a diametrical increase equal to twice the thickness.
SHAFTTolerance+machining = Tolerance+final – 2 × Thicknessmax
Tolerance–machining = Tolerance–final – 2 × Thicknessmin
Tolerance+machining = Tolerance+final + 2 × Thicknessmin
Tolerance–machining = Tolerance–final + 2 × Thicknessmax
Regarding the natural anodizing, the treatment increases by 30% outward and 70% inward from the surface. The dimensions will need to be recalculated considering a diametrical increase equal to 0.6 times the thickness.
SHAFTTolerance+machining = Tolerance+final – 0.6 × Thicknessmax
Tolerance–machining = Tolerance–final – 0.6 × Thicknessmin
Tolerance+machining = Tolerance+final + 0.6 × Thicknessmin
Tolerance–machining = Tolerance–final + 0.6 × Thicknessmax
Regarding the hard anodizing, the treatment increases by 50% outward and 50% inward from the surface. The dimensions will need to be recalculated considering a diametrical increase equal to the thickness.
SHAFTTolerance+machining = Tolerance+final – Thicknessmax
Tolerance–machining = Tolerance–final – Thicknessmin
Tolerance+machining = Tolerance+final + Thicknessmin
Tolerance–machining = Tolerance–final + Thicknessmax
One of the main properties of electroless nickel plating is its corrosion resistance. Electroless nickel plating is in fact used on mechanical metal parts (steel, aluminum alloys or copper alloys) when protection from oxidation and corrosion by external agents is required.
