Electroplating


If the finish you require isn't listed below, give us a call.  We have the flexibility to meet your needs.


Coating Systems' advanced technologies and chemistries produce better adhesion, reduce bleed-out from seams, and provide the capability to do more precision work.


Our  lines for zinc, nickel, and other types of plating can efficiently accommodate large runs, short runs, prototypes, and more complex parts.



Chromium plating-decorative & commercial: QQ-C-320

Copper Plating-   MIL-C-14550  Copper in color.  Matte to very shiny finish.  Good  corrosion resistance as undercoat. ROHS compliant.


Electroless Nickel-   MIL-C-26074 (ASTM B 733)   Similar to stainless steel in
color.  Plates uniformly.  Does not build up on edges.  Corrosion resistance good over .001.  ROHS compliant.


Nickel Plating / Sulfamate Nickel-  QQ-N-290  Corrosion resistance is a function of thickness.  Low thermal expansion coefficient.  Magnetic. ROHS compliant.


Phosphate coating, Type II (iron phosphate)

Primarily for use where metal/aluminum parts are to be painted or powder coated.


Passivating, Clear-  AMS 2700 Designed to remove foreign metals from surfaces, thereby improving corrosion resistance.  Does not change appearance of the base metal.  ROHS compliant.


Tin Plating-  MIL-T-10727  Color is gray-white.  Soft but ductile.  Corrosion resistance is good.  Solderability is excellent.  Not good in low temperature applications.  ROHS compliant.

Zinc Plating
- clear, yellow & black- ASTM-B-633  Bright zinc plating closely resembles bright chromium, but doesn't have the apparent surface permanence.  Zinc coated steel will not rust when steel is exposed by scratches because of the galvanic protection of  the zinc. Clear is ROHS compliant.  Please specify ROHS compliant for yellow or black.


Zincate plating on aluminum:  Immersion coating of zinc on aluminum providing a base for plating.
