Our Electroplating Process
Surface Preparation
Thorough cleaning, degreasing, and mechanical or chemical preparation of the substrate to ensure proper adhesion and coating quality.
Pre-Treatment
Application of specialized chemical treatments to activate the surface and prepare it for the electroplating process.
Electroplating
Immersion in carefully controlled electrolytic baths where precise electrical currents deposit metal ions onto the substrate surface.
Post-Treatment
Final processing including rinsing, passivation, and application of sealers to enhance performance and appearance of the plated surface.
Quality Assurance
Our electroplating processes adhere to the highest quality standards in the industry. Each component undergoes rigorous testing to ensure coating thickness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance meet or exceed specifications for marine applications.
Our Standards:
- ASTM B117 Salt Spray Testing: Components are tested in accelerated corrosion environments to verify performance in marine conditions.
- ISO 9001:2015: Our quality management system ensures consistent process control and documentation.
- NADCAP Certification: We maintain specialized accreditation for critical applications requiring the highest quality standards.
- Environmental Compliance: All processes meet or exceed local and international environmental regulations for metal finishing operations.
