Galvanoplasty – electroplating
The creation of metal coatings using electroplating techniques is a process of electrolytic deposition or electroplating with a long tradition.
This involves the use of direct current to deposit metal coatings (hard chrome, gold, copper, nickel, nickel sulphamate, silver, zinc, zinc-iron, zinc-nickel, tin) on workpieces.
The type of metal used as an anode is determined by the coating to be deposited on the cathode. The expertise also extends to the deposition of conductive polymers by electropolymerization.
The electroplating team offers professional and state-of-the-art services.
Our goal is to improve the properties of your components! Our electroplating processes improve their sliding properties and increase their resistance to wear and corrosion.
