Electroless Nickel is an auto-catalytic chemical process used to deposit nickel phosphorous onto a metal substrate, resulting in a smooth uniform finish capable of holding tolerances of +/- 5 micro inches. Does not build up on edges and plates uniformly in recesses and cavities.
Anodizing increases the surface corrosion resistance and wear and allows dyeing, improves lubrication and adhesion on aluminum.
Electropolishing is an electro-chemical process that removes material from a stainless-steel substrate. It improves corrosion resistance, removes micro burrs, and adds a bright chrome like finishing resulting in a passivated surface.
Bright Nickel & Chrome plating has a high luster finish that provides corrosion protection, wear resistance with the ease of cleaning. Applications can range from exhaust pipes to metal racking to medical and lab related products.
Zinc chloride plating is a cost effective alternative to nickel. It produces a brilliant, level, and ductile deposit on ferrous metals.
As mentioned above, zinc chloride plating is a cost-effective alternative to nickel, and Barrel Plating allows to more efficiently plate smaller parts while maintaining the same properties of a rack plating application
Passivation removes iron or iron compounds from the surface of stainless steel by means of a chemical dissolution, most typically by a treatment with an acid solution that will remove the surface contamination, but will not significantly affect the stainless steel itself.
See Specifications & Certifications page for Process approvals.
Chemical Film is a chemical conversion coating that is used to passivate aluminum. It protects aluminum substrates from corrosion and serves as a base for organic coatings while leaving dimensions unchanged.
