Gold Plating vs. Alternatives: Why This Noble Metal Stands Out in Industrial Applications
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, but for many industrial applications, […]
What Is Industrial Silver Plating?
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 of coating metal with a […]
What Is Copper Plating?
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 for both functional and aesthetic […]
What Is Gold Plating?
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 industrial commodity. It’s quite valuable […]
