Electroless nickel plating is the perfect solution for components that need corrosion protection, wear resistance, and a uniform coating.
This process is ideal for complex parts, including threads, blind holes, and deep bores. It offers an even deposit across the entire surface, regardless of shape or size.
Our medium phosphorus (5-9%) and low phosphorus (2-4%) electroless nickel coatings are designed to meet the specific needs of the oil and gas industry. For corrosive environments, a medium phosphorus coating is ideal, while low phosphorus offers superior wear resistance and hardness for more demanding applications.
Ensures even coverage on complex shapes, internal features, and threads.
Protects against harsh chemicals and corrosive environments commonly found in oil and gas operations.
Adds durability to components exposed to high wear, extending their lifespan and reducing downtime.
Suitable for a variety of materials, including aluminum, copper, and steel alloys.
Copper plating is essential for oil and gas components, offering excellent electrical conductivity, anti-galling properties, and corrosion resistance.
We specialize in copper plating for inner threads and diameters—areas many competitors avoid. Our experience in this area makes us the go-to provider for premium thread couplings, connectors, and other critical components.
Acts as a lubricant on threads, preventing galling and ensuring smooth assembly.
Copper is the standard for electrical conductivity, making it essential for electrical components.
A thin layer of copper plating protects components from corrosion, extending their lifespan in harsh environments.
Copper provides a smooth, uniform base for further plating, improving adhesion for finishes like nickel or gold.
Copper plating is essential for engineering applications such as connectors, contacts, and premium thread couplings, offering anti-galling and superior conductivity. It’s a cost-effective alternative to metals like gold or silver, making it a top choice for machine shops in the oil and gas industry.
In the oil and gas industry, time is of the essence. We offer fast, reliable service without compromising quality, ensuring your components are ready when you need them.
In addition to our fast turnaround time, we bring unique advantages to every project, offering personalized service, advanced technology, and the dedication you won’t find with larger platers.
Here’s why machine shops throughout Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma trust us:
We offer transparent pricing that reflects the quality and effort we put into every project—no shortcuts, no price gouging.
We provide our clients with clear and consistent communication to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.
We constantly implement the latest cutting-edge technologies; we provide superior results compared to other platers.
We’re always here for you—day or night—ready to deliver custom plating solutions with precision and care.
We can process over 100,000 parts per month using our rack, barrel, and vibratory process lines.
We use a 6-foot process tank with a 1-ton capacity hoist for copper plating, which allows us to handle larger components.
For copper plating, we can process components up to the size that fits in our 6-foot tank.
We can handle components up to 1 ton, thanks to our hoist capacity.
We offer medium phosphorus (5-9%) and low phosphorus (2-4%) coatings, depending on the environment and the application.
For electroless nickel plating, we precisely control the thickness to meet close tolerance finishes, though the specific maximum thickness is dependent on customer requirements.
We can plate on a wide range of substrates, including aluminum, copper alloys, beryllium copper, brass, nickel alloys, stainless steel, and steel alloys.
Yes! We proudly offer plating on aluminum, which many plating companies do not. This includes electroless nickel and copper plating.
Our standard turnaround time for electroless nickel plating is 2-3 days. However, we offer same-day or next-day expedited services for urgent orders.
We partner with an environmentally-conscious disposal company to ensure that our waste chemicals are handled responsibly.
Electroless nickel plating is chemically deposited, which ensures an even coating on all surfaces, including threads and complex shapes. It provides excellent corrosion resistance and uniform thickness, making it ideal for engineering components. Regular nickel plating (electroplating), on the other hand, uses an electric current and may result in uneven coverage on more intricate shapes.
When precision, durability, and performance are critical, trust Guerrero Plating Technology to deliver. Our electroless nickel and copper plating services are designed to meet the unique demands of machine shops serving the oil and gas industry.
