We offer Electroplating Service on these Base Materials
Plating on Aluminium (Al)
Aluminium is a very light weight metal and has high tensile strength, for this purpose it is preferred sometimes. Although using Aluminium as a Base metal reduces cost compared to other Copper Alloys, it has its own disadvantages.
Compared to Copper Alloys, Plating on Aluminium is a more time-consuming process. Aluminium metal quickly forms an oxide which can weaken the Plating adhesion. To prevent such the oxide formation we treat aluminium, especially with a different kind of surface preparation process.
Plating on Copper Alloys
Copper (Cu)
Copper has great electrical characteristics and good thermal conductivity. It is also a relatively soft metal which is easily malleable. Copper also has a cooling effect on the house or workplace and believed to induce a calming effect on the mood and ambiance of the place.
Copper metal is highly reactive towards atmospheric conditions and gets tarnished quickly. After a few months it becomes rustic brown and after a few years, it forms a green oxide patina colour, and only after some decades it produces the blue oxide shade on the surface. Since the patina looks aesthetically pleasant and pleasing, we in our production unit are using some chemical catalyst to create the Patina finishes within a day for our beloved clients.
Brass (Cu) & (Zn)
Brass is a highly preferred ornamental metal due to its bright yellow like appearance resembling gold. Brass is an alloy made primarily of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn). The proportions of the copper and zinc are varied to yield many different kinds of brass. Basic modern brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc.
Due to its low friction property, it is widely used in the making of Valves and Door Knobs. Brass is more malleable than copper, it can be hammered or pressed into any shape without breaking or cracking.
Bronze (Cu) & (Sn)
Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (such as aluminum, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon. These additions produce a range of alloys that may be harder than copper alone or have other useful properties, such as stiffness, ductility, or machinability.
Bronze has been in use since ancient times and the historic bronze age lasted for more than 2000 years creating artistic brilliance in every field. Bronze still holds great aesthetic value and deep historical importance among people.
Plating on Rare Earth metals
Gold (Au)
The metal Palladium (Pd) is plated on Gold Products for a more lustrous look, and for acquiring a very high corrosion resistance.
Silver (Ag)
Depositing Gold on Silver substrate produces a gleaming Gold Plated finish. Rhodium plating is occasionally done over white gold, silver or copper and its alloys.
Palladium (Pd)
Palladium is a chemical element with the symbol Pd and atomic number 46, plating Palladium over any surface increases its Corrosion resistance. In the case of Plating Gold on Copper Plated substrate, the underlying copper starts to corrode in certain years affecting the top layer of Gold. In such cases, we can give a coat of palladium over copper to increase its corrosion resistance and then do the gold.
Plating of palladium, platinum, rhodium, osmium, iridium & ruthenium forms a group of elements referred to as the platinum group of metals (PGMs).
Plating on Steel
Electrode deposition on Steel followed by a Special Nickel plating process. We offer decorative plating services on Stainless Steel based table wares, Door wares & Interior based Architectural Hardware items.
Plating on Non Metals
Wax
Widely used one for making traditional and ornamental Copper Alloy artifacts and temple art in jewellery making. In this category, we provide electroplated idols of Gods and Goddesses and artifacts with the base as wax. In this format, we can produce highly detailed designs that are very light in weight. They will also come at a rock bottom cost with superior quality.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS Plastic)
Electroplating on ABS is vastly used in Automotive sectors due to its lightweight & high temperature withstanding property. They are also used in Real-time 3D Printers for Printing 3D Models. We treat the ABS surface with a special etching & pre-plating (includes Platinum) processes. We guarantee that the final outcome of the product will look exactly like a type of Metal you wanted.
