Metal Electroplating Process

You’ll See Nothing But The Shine!

MPC’s metal electroplating process begins with copper and ends with chrome. In between, we offer a full range of metal plating services applied to the following substrates:

• Zinc die-castings and stampings
• Brass
• Steel, and
• Copper

Performance of all plating meets Service Condition requirements for corrosion resistance on interior applications and features the following process operations:

• Polishing & Buffing – removes parting lines and smooths the surface for plating
• Copper Strike – improves plating adhesion, protects against corrosion from subsequent plating operations
• Bright Acid Copper – provides leveling and good thermal cycling
• Bright Nickel – provides corrosion resistance and a highly reflective finish
• Chrome – protects nickel layer against corrosion and provides a clean decorative finish
