Copper Plating
Copper Plating
Copper plating is a common coating in the electronics industry and is used as a reliable masking for nitride hardening.
We have worked with companies from a wide range of sectors and have obtained many company approvals and accreditations.
Copper is a relatively soft and ductile metal. Because of its shiny orange colour it is widely used for decorative purposes. But its most outstanding property is its very high electrical conductivity, which is ten times higher than the conductivity of carbon steel. Therefore copper plating is a common coating in the electronics industry.
Copper pyrophosphate is widely used for plating tubular items which cannot be processed using the acid method, giving a deposit which is smooth and bright with excellent throwing power.
It can be directly applied to metals such as brass, bronze and nickel silver.
