New motors line in aluminum with nickel treatment.
Nickel is a silvery-white metal that belongs to the iron group of metals. The Nickel forms an impervious coating on the motor frame, so that corrosive agents can’t reach the Aluminum surface of the motor, and it protects the motor from wear, ageing and corrosion.
The nickel layer deposited on the motor makes it aesthetically similar to stainless steel motors.
This treatment, besides increasing the exterior hardness of the motors, makes them suitable for moderately moist environments, where frequent cleanings without chemical agents are carried out.
