Chrome plating on copper for tailored electroplating
Chrome plating on copper is assessed for metal components that require a chrome finish and an electroplating process suited to the material's characteristics. Galvanik supports the customer in the technical assessment of the component and the definition of the most suitable processing.
Where chrome plating on copper is assessed
A process designed for copper-based components where chrome finish, technical value and consistency between parts are relevant elements.
- Copper or copper-based components
- Technical parts for industrial production
- Small and medium items to be enhanced with rack chrome finish
- Small and medium components on racks
- Production batches to be assessed on specification
Technical assessment before processing
The treatment requires a preliminary assessment of the surface, material state and intended use of the component. For this reason Galvanik invites customers to send technical data, photos and expected quantities before confirming the processing.
Technical analysis
Evaluation of the component and surface condition.
Cycle definition
Selection of the electroplating process suited to the piece.
Processing confirmation
Sharing of lead times and procedures with the customer.
A case-by-case verification
Chrome plating on copper must be verified case by case based on material, geometry, surface and final objective of the component. For this reason every request is examined by our technical office before confirming feasibility of the processing.
Base material
Type of copper or copper-based alloy and related characteristics.
Piece geometry
Shape, complexity and accessibility of the surfaces to be treated.
Surface condition
Starting condition, mechanical finish and presence of residues.
Final objective
Expected appearance, intended use and production context of the component.
