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.
