We offer the following additional services:
Pre-plating deburring and polishing - We have horizontal
tumbling equipment, centrifugal disc equipment, and centrifugal
barrel equipment. These machines can remove burrs left over
from the stamping/machining process and/or polish the parts to a
very smooth finish prior to plating.
Heat treatment of beryllium copper alloys - We have an oven
that is designed to heat treat beryllium copper. It has a maximum
temp of 700 F, and can heat treat the parts in an inert (nitrogen)
atmosphere. We plate a considerable amount of beryllium copper
alloys and many of our customers ask us to also handle the heat
treatment of the parts prior to plating. We are comparable in
price to other heat treating facilities, and our customers save
several days by eliminating the need to ship the parts from the
customer to the heat treater and shipping the parts from the heat
treater to the plater.
Baking for hydrogen embrittlement relief - Some high strength
steel alloys have a tendency to get brittle during some plating
processes. They absorb molecules of hydrogen into the metal and
this extra hydrogen can make the metal brittle. If the parts are
baked right after plating, the hydrogen is driven out of the metal
and the tendency for brittleness is reduced or eliminated. We
offer this service to our customers that ask us to plate high
strength alloys.
Specialized testing and certifications - We have the ability to
measure thickness of coating to with a couple of millionths of an
inch in a very small area of a small part. We also have the ability
to steam age and solder test parts if solderablity is a critical
requirement of your parts. We offer certifications of compliance
(C of C's)if you require them as well.
