ANTI-CORRSION COATING FOR CRITICAL SERVICE APPLICATIONS
THIN, NON-EMBRITTLING AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY!
Electroplating aluminum technology's availability is growing rapidly as plating costs continue to drop and capacity continues to expand. It offers an immediate drop-in replacement for cadmium. It offers an excellent solution, offering all these properties and giving users a new solution that has historically been unavailable.
Many high strength fasteners, particularly those used in critical service applications where the cost of failure is very high, are employed without adequate anticorrosion coatings because of the lack of acceptable alternatives. Commonly available anticorrosion coatings can be incompatible with the application, or can cause hydrogen embrittlement leading to catastrophic failure.
IT IS COMPATIBLE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENTS
APPLICATION
Heavy equipment: Offering an excellent solution where superior corrosion resistance is needed, such as high-strength bolts, springs and connectors
Marine: Suitable in chloride and sulfur dioxide-rich atmospheres, and has proven its outstanding corrosion resistance
Aerospace: Military and commercial aviation use it as replacement of cadmium coatings
High-purity electroplated aluminum has also proven superior to ion vapor deposited (IVD) aluminum, with better uniformity and surface density without shot peening.

BENEFITS
ELECTROPLATING OFFERS IMPORTANT BENEFITS THAT CAN ENHANCE YOUR COMPETITIVE POSITION IN THE MARKET!
FORMS A PROTECTIVE BARRIER
Plated parts can last longer and need to be replaced less frequently, and are more likely to hold up under extreme conditions.
ENHANCES APPEARANCE
Manufacturers have a cost-effective way to make products more aesthetically appealing. Jewelers can sell products that look like pure gold or other precious metals at a much lower price.
REDUCES FRICTION
Nickel plating improves performance and reduces premature wear and tear.
INCREASES HARDNESS
Plated surfaces are less susceptible to damage when struck or dropped, which can increase their lifespan.
RESISTS HEAT
Plating with these metals protect engine parts and components from damage caused by extreme temperatures, which can increase their lifespan.
IS MAGNETIC
Magnetic properties make it easier for discs to be read.
ABSORBS EXCESS HYDROGEN
This can improve catalytic converter performance.
PREVENTS FORMATION OF WHISKERS
Damage caused by arcing and shorts in electrical parts and components due to whiskers breaking away from materials can be significantly reduced.
CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY
It is a cost-effective and efficient conductivity solution.
INCREASES THICKNESS
It improves overall quality and increases longevity of the substrate.
ABSORBS LIGHT AND ENERGY
It ensures compliance with Department of Defense guidelines and other industry standards.
PROMOTES ADHESION
It provides a smooth and uniform surface finish.
LONG LASTING CORROSION RESISTANCE
