Metal Finishing – Plating & Coating
Electrolytic and chemical finishing: nickel, zinc, cadmium, silver, gold, anodizing, phosphate, chemical conversion and blackening. Applied to MIL, AMS and ASTM specifications and delivered with inspection reports.
Metal Plating processes
Electrolytic Nickel Plating
Electrolytic nickel plating; provides wear and corrosion resistance, also used for controlled thickness build-up in repair work.
Electroless Nickel Plating
Autocatalytic process; uniform coating thickness even on internal surfaces and complex geometries. For parts requiring high hardness and corrosion resistance.
Gold Plating
Low contact resistance and oxidation protection; for electrical reliability in connectors, RF and electronic components.
Copper Plating
Provides conductivity and solderability; also applied as an interlayer in multi-layer plating systems.
Zinc Plating
Sacrificial corrosion protection for steel parts; available with clear, yellow and black passivation.
Zinc-Nickel Plating
Substantially higher corrosion resistance than standard zinc; used on defense and aerospace fasteners and chassis parts.
Silver Plating
High electrical and thermal conductivity with good solderability; for RF and power transmission components.
Cadmium Plating
Corrosion protection still specified in aerospace standards; low galvanic potential against aluminum makes it preferred for steel parts mating with aluminum.
Tin Plating
Solderability and corrosion protection for electronic and electromechanical parts.
Anodizing
Controlled oxide layer on aluminum; hardness, corrosion resistance and pre-paint surface preparation. Chromic, sulfuric and hard types, with color options.
Phosphate Coatings
Zinc and manganese phosphate coatings on steel; for pre-paint preparation, oil retention and break-in wear.
Chemical Conversion Coating (Alodine)
Thin corrosion protection on aluminum that preserves electrical conductivity; for pre-paint surfaces and grounding interfaces. Cr+3 and Cr+6 options.
Chemical Blackening
Low-reflectance black oxide finish on steel with no dimensional change; used on optical and sighting system components.
Stainless Steel Passivation
Removal of free iron from stainless surfaces and reinforcement of the passive chromium-oxide layer; restores corrosion resistance.
Ceramic-Based Coating (Cerakote)
Thin ceramic-based protective coating for surfaces requiring high-temperature, wear and chemical resistance; used on weapon and equipment parts.
Titanium Anodizing
Surface conditioning and color coding of titanium parts through oxide growth; used in aerospace and medical applications.
Solid Film Lubricant
Dry-film lubrication where liquid lubricants cannot be used; MoS₂- and PTFE-based coatings reduce friction and prevent galling.
Adhesive & Sealant Application
Specification-driven adhesive, sealant and filler application, including ballistic glass bonding, as a pre- or post-assembly process step.
Additional Applications
Blasting, laser marking, stress relief and hydrogen embrittlement relief baking; evaluated together against your program specification.
