The Strategic Edge of Silver Electroplating in High-Performance Industries Silver is a noble metal with many key properties that make it an ideal plating material, especially for parts used in high-stakes industrial applications where performance and reliability are critical. The electronics, aerospace, defense, medical, and oil and gas industries rely
What You Need to Know for Your Industrial Application When it comes to industrial gold plating, one size does not fit all. Customizing gold plating thickness is essential for ensuring durability, performance, and functionality across various applications. This guide explores the critical factors influencing plating thickness, how it impacts component
Know Your Metal Plating Options Various factors must be considered when evaluating the type of metal plating to utilize for a given application. These may include everything from initial cost and substrate compatibility to operating conditions and performance requirements. Metals like silver, copper, nickel, and palladium all have important uses,
Silver plating is commonly used in the oil & gas industry on seal rings. It’s also used on different electrical components. Additionally, it’s used sometimes instead of gold for a lower cost. However, it also offers high wear resistance and corrosion-resistant capabilities as well. Industrial silver plating is a process
A: Oil and gas is one industry—oil and gas use copper plating technology. Other industries we serve are the medical industry—aviation and aerospace. Also the electrical industry, a lot of different small parts that have different types of plating on them. Plating, as we’ve previously discussed is a process by
A: Copper plating is mainly used for plating threads of long pipes that are used in the oil and gas industry. It’s basically used for anti-galling of the threads and also corrosion resistance. Copper plating is the process of adhering a layer of copper onto the surface of various metals
A: Gold plating is the process where we can apply gold to parts and it will improve corrosion resistance. It also improves conductivity on different contacts and makes the parts look very pretty. While gold is known for its luxe factor in jewelry, and other luxury consumer items—it’s also an
At Guerrero Plating we are meticulous with every aspect of the work we perform—we have no choice. Our clients depend on us for our unmatched precision and quality with every plating project we execute.
