Why Choose AEW for Plating? AEW is a global leader in plating services, offering the latest in plating technology and eco-friendly practices. Our expertise spans a range of metals, including precious metals like gold and silver, and non-precious options such as tin, copper, and nickel. We also work with specialty alloys like palladium-nickel and copper-nickel, ensuring quality plating solutions across automotive, aerospace, and consumer durables industries.
What is Plating? Plating is a process where a thin metal layer is applied to a material’s surface to enhance its properties, such as corrosion resistance, wearability, and conductivity. This technique is widely used in various sectors to improve product durability and performance.
Plating Processes
- Electrolytic Plating : Uses electric current to deposit a metal layer on a conductive workpiece. Commonly applied to metals and, with pre-coating, to non-conductive surfaces.
- Electroless Plating : A chemical process that deposits metal without electricity, ideal for complex shapes and non-conductive materials, commonly used for nickel plating.
Our Plating Services
- Nickel Plating : Nickel provides excellent wear and corrosion resistance, often used as a base layer. It is suitable for intricate shapes as it evenly deposits without accumulating on edges.
- Copper Plating : One of the oldest plating techniques, copper plating adds conductivity and tarnishes over time, ideal for decorative and electrical applications.
- Silver Plating : Known for high conductivity, silver plating enhances thermal and electrical performance, widely used in electronics and engineering applications.
Barrel Plating Services : This method is ideal for small, complex
components. Parts are tumbled in a non-conducting barrel submerged in an electrolyte bath, making it suitable for intricate
plating tasks.
Pioneering Plating Techniques : AEW offers cutting-edge solutions like automated barrel plating and lead-free whisker plating, designed to meet your specific needs while maintaining environmental standards..
Quality Promise : AEW is committed to quality, ensuring that all plated products meet stringent standards. Our quality labs are equipped with advanced testing instruments, including X-ray fluoroscopy, microscopes, and salt spray test equipment, guaranteeing consistent high-quality plating. We deliver plated products in formats like pancake coils and spools for flexible integration into your processes.
