A: 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: 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 which we coat a surface…
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…
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…

A: Plating is done to improve corrosion resistance on different metal parts it’s also used to reduce friction on them. It’s used to make them look better. Also, it’s used to improve conductivity and other different things the customer may want. While there’s no such thing as the “Midas Touch”—turning anything you touch into gold—there…
A: Plating technology benefits are improved corrosion resistance as well as increased durability and strength. It makes the parts more appealing to the eye and it also reduces friction. Plating, as covered in our last blog is a process used to envelop the surface of a metal component with a different metal. Metal plating effectively…
A: Plating technology is the use of processes that use chemicals to put a coating on different types of metal. Coatings such as copper, nickel, gold, silver—and other types of materials. You may not realize it but you come across plating technology every day—some you see, some you don’t see. Everything from plumbing fixtures, to…
