For our customers who require surface finishes for corrosion resistance or aesthetic appearance of parts, we offer these value added options through our outside secondary sources. In addition, we can also provide vibration resistance and enhanced inspection options through our outside secondary sources.

These options include electroless plating, galvanized immersion, painting, and spraying processes. Custom plated components are available in diverse finishes such as black oxide, zinc, nickel, and chrome. To ensure compliance with specific finish requirements, plated components can be tested for characteristics such as plating thickness, solderability, adhesion, and corrosion resistance. If required, plating certification can be provided.

Plating types include:

  • Brass
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Zinc
  • Zinc/Yellow Dichromate
  • Green, Red, Blue dyes

Other outside secondary offerings:

  • Nylon patch/Nylon pellet/Nylon strip
  • Electronic vision sort
