Advanced Plating & Surface Preparation Technology

Electroplating Process

Electroplating deposits a protective metal coating onto component surfaces through an electrochemical process, providing superior corrosion protection and enhanced appearance. Our precision equipment controls coating thickness and uniformity for consistency across all components.

Combined with professional sandblasting surface preparation, our integrated process ensures optimal coating adhesion, maximum corrosion resistance, and long-lasting protection in demanding aerospace, industrial, and marine environments.

  • Material type and existing surface condition
  • Plating type (nickel, chrome, zinc) and thickness requirements
  • Masking requirements for non-plated or preserved surfaces
  • Pre-treatment and surface preparation specifications
  • Adhesion and corrosion protection requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What plating types are available?
We provide nickel plating (for corrosion protection), chrome plating (for wear resistance and appearance), and zinc plating (for general corrosion protection). Plating type depends on application requirements.
What plating thickness is standard?
Plating thickness varies by specification: nickel typically 0.0005–0.003 inches, chrome 0.00005–0.001 inches, zinc 0.0005–0.002 inches. We verify thickness and provide documentation.
How does sandblasting improve plating?
Sandblasting removes oxides, mill scale, and contaminants, creating a clean surface that maximizes plating adhesion and coating performance.
What surface finish does sandblasting achieve?
Sandblasting creates a uniform, textured surface ideal for paint, powder coating, and adhesive adhesion. Surface roughness is controlled based on abrasive selection.
Do you support aerospace specifications?
Yes. We comply with ASTM B571, ASTM B117 salt-spray testing, and aerospace requirements with full documentation and material traceability.
What is the turnaround time?
Standard plating and surface preparation takes 5–7 business days. Rush service available for urgent aerospace and military projects.
