Electroplating and Plating Finishes

Having taken care to machine your turned parts carefully and accurately, the last thing you want is for them to be knocked about during the electroplating process.

The danger with barrel plating pressings is that they may bend or distort during either the barrel plating process or the spin drying afterwards. By considering the rotation speed of the barrels as well as the forces incurred in the spin dryer we have been able to barrel plate pressings which traditionally were jig plated.

The main issue with electroplating of fasteners is the potential for damage to the external threads of fasteners. Once again our attention to barrel rotation speeds and the use of controllable spin driers minimises the danger of thread damage.
