Copper
Electroplating:
We offer rack and barrel bright copper electroplating
for components. Copper plating is used heavily in the
electronics, electrical and water sectors for electrical
conductance and corrosion resistance. Copper is also
used widely as a decorative coating, as well as a
method of restoring the surface finish on worn or eroded
mechanical
component.
Strikes:
Copper plating is commonly used as a strike, a
base coat for secondary electroplating or finishing,
examples of which include cadmium, nickel, chromium or
tin.
Process:
We use the acid - (sulfate and fluoborate) process which
is based on a 200-250g/L copper sulfate, 30-75 sulfuric
acid solution at 21-49oC and a low current density of
20-100amp/ft2.
