Electroless nickel could compete against chrome for trouble free and dependable quality but maybe not for cost. Hard anodizing is even more trouble free and can sometimes be applied for the same purpose and similar or better results at less unit cost. Problem is it will most surely require dimensional design changes of the parts. G. Marrufo-Mexico
