Pre-Plate Facilities

Our pre-plate facilities ensure optimal surface preparation for superior plating results:

  • Vapor Degreasing: Effective removal of oils and contaminants.
  • Periodic Reverse Alkaline Descaling: Ensures clean and reactive surfaces.
  • Ultrasonic Cleaning: Deep cleaning using ultrasonic waves.
  • Alkaline or Acid Cleaning (Soak or Electrolytic): Versatile cleaning methods for various materials.

Electroplating Processes

We offer a wide range of electroplating processes to meet diverse needs:

  • Zinc (Rack or Barrel, up to 72" long): Corrosion-resistant coating for various applications.
  • Cadmium (Rack or Barrel, up to 72" long): Provides excellent corrosion resistance and lubricity.
  • Copper (Rack, Bright or Dull; Barrel, Dull only): Conductive and decorative finishes.
  • Nickel (Rack or Barrel, Dull or Bright): Durable and attractive finishes.
  • Chromium (Rack only, Commercial): Hard, wear-resistant coatings.
  • Tin (Rack or Barrel, Bright or Matte): Solderable and corrosion-resistant finishes.
  • Specialty Plating on Stainless Steels and Exotic Metals: Customized solutions for unique materials.

Post-Plate and Non-Electrolytic Procedures

Our post-plate and non-electrolytic procedures enhance and protect your plated parts:

  • Phosphating (Zinc or Manganese, Small Lots): Improves paint adhesion and corrosion resistance.
  • Chromates (Variety of Colors): Provides additional corrosion protection and aesthetic appeal.
  • Dyes (Multiple Colors for Part Identification): Custom coloring for easy part identification.
  • Heat Treatments:
    • Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief: Ensures structural integrity.
    • Stress-Relief Annealing for Copper and Brass: Reduces internal stresses.
  • Bright Dipping and Chromating of Copper or Brass: Enhances appearance and corrosion resistance.
  • Caustic Etching of Aluminum Alloys: Prepares surfaces for further processing.
  • Passivation of Stainless Steels: Enhances corrosion resistance.
  • Chem Film Finishing of Aluminum: Provides a protective and conductive coating.
