Electroplating & metal finishing services

Zinc is the workhorse of industrial finishing. It acts as a sacrificial layer, corroding before the steel underneath does, so your parts last longer in the field. We offer zinc in both hexavalent and trivalent chromate chemistries, letting you meet your spec, whether that's a classic finish or a RoHS-friendly alternative.

Tin gives parts a clean, satin-white surface that is easy to solder, resists corrosion and keeps electrical contact resistance low. It is a go-to finish for electrical and electronic components.

Black oxide is a conversion coating that turns the surface of steel a deep, even black. Because it adds virtually no thickness, it's ideal for precision parts with tight tolerances. Paired with an oil sealant, it adds mild corrosion resistance and cuts glare.

Passivation chemically cleans metal parts and removes free iron and shop contamination left over from machining, which strengthens the metal's natural protective layer. The result is a cleaner part with better resistance to rust and staining.

Plating can introduce hydrogen into hardened steel. Controlled baking after plating relieves that hydrogen and helps prevent embrittlement failures. We also provide heat treatment to support your part requirements. Call us to discuss your spec.

We measure plating thickness to verify it meets your print, and we provide documentation for your records and your customers. If your job calls for certification, include the requirements with your prints and we'll take care of it.
