Electro-Plating
Both hard chromium and heavy nickel plating facilities are available from branches throughout the UK.
Hard Chromium Plating
Hard Chromium produces a metal coating with a low co-efficient of friction recognised for its hardness, wear resistence and, when used with nickel, anti-corrosion properties.
Mining equipment, rolls and cylinders all benefit from the reduced wear rate and anti-corrosion properties, whilst the low co-efficient of friction makes chromium an ideal coating for bearing journals, crankshafts and hydraulic rams.
Nickel Plating
Nickel can often be used under chromium for corrosion protection or where heavy deposits are required. Nickel alone can give an added protection to components operating in highly corrosive atmospheres or chemical solutions.
With plating tanks amongst the largest in the country the majority of industrial plating work can be accommodated.
