A beginner's guide to plating

When we produce metal stampings, we often use steel. If you need your metal stampings to look professional, we can plate them for you:
  • Black oxide: Creates a smooth, black finish.
  • Anodizing: Allows for dyeing to create a colored finish. 
  • Metal finishing: Allows for a cadmium, chrome, copper, nickel, or zinc finish.

Plating has the following benefits:
  • Looks professional.
  • Does not peel, crack, or rub off.
  • Protects metal from such corrosion as rusting.
  • Reduces friction and wear.
  • Resistant to chemicals.
  • Prevents dirt and dust buildup.

I love that this post mentioned that plating will make everything look professional. The other day my wife mentioned she would like to have black oxide finishing for her railings. I will encourage her to go with it as it will look professional.

It's good to know that plating will reduce friction. That could help my bolts last longer. Maybe I can get them all plated before I put them in.
