Surface treatment

Surface finishes in the galvanic industry are essential to improve the aesthetic, functional and protective properties of metal components. The galvanic process, which includes techniques such as electroplating, chrome plating and nickel plating, uses electrolysis to apply metal coatings on object surfaces. These coatings not only give components a desirable appearance, but also offer significant advantages in terms of durability, corrosion resistance and improved mechanical properties.

Choice of galvanic treatment depends on the specific requirements of the component, including protection, durability and appearance. With the evolution of technologies and materials, surface finishing techniques continue to develop, offering increasingly sophisticated and high-performance solutions to meet the needs of different industrial sectors.

The advantages of galvanic surface finishes

• Corrosion protection: Galvanic coatings such as zinc plating and nickel plating provide a protective barrier against the corrosive environment, prolonging the life of components and reducing maintenance costs.
• Improved aesthetics: Techniques such as chrome plating and silvering enhance the appearance of components, giving them a glossy, shiny finish that can be used for decorative or branding purposes.
• Wear resistance: Nickel plating and hard chrome plating increase wear and abrasion resistance, making the components more suitable for high-stress applications.
• Electrical conductivity: Surface coatings such as copper plating and silver plating improve the electrical conductivity of components, making them suitable for electronic and connection applications.
