Corrosion slowly eats away at the integrity of metal parts, jeopardizing aircraft, vehicles, and equipment in various industries. Electroplating can significantly enhance a substrate's ability to withstand corrosion. However, not all metals are created equal. Choosing the right plating metals for your project helps increase...
Copper electroplating is a common and cost-effective process in the metal finishing industry. Because of its unique characteristics and comparatively low costs, copper is regularly used to plate various substrates on its own or used as a base layer for other plated metals. As a...
Even at low thicknesses, cadmium plating provides its excellent corrosion resistance to the underlying substrate. Typically, cad plating is divided into three types based on post-plating treatment. CRC proudly offers all three types of cadmium plating to our partners in the aerospace and defense industries. What...
Mil-spec CARC is a paint coating commonly used to provide protection from chemical, biological, and radioactive threats. Since the 1980s, most military vehicles and equipment have used CARC coatings to protect the people that use them. Because CARC paint can withstand the harshest conditions imaginable,...
Different forms of nickel plating serve different manufacturing needs. Traditional electroless nickel plating and common nickel plating produce separate results that are not necessarily obvious to those unfamiliar with the plating process. Each technique offers specific benefits based on chemical composition and production method. Here at...
Chrome plating remains one of the top choices in industrial metal finishing, and that’s not only due to its pleasing aesthetics. Its widespread applications in the medical, aerospace, and defense industries make chrome plating incredibly useful. Industrial manufacturers understand that both hard chrome plating and...
