Copper Plating
Copper has excellent conductive properties and therefore make it suitable for use with electrical components. When used as a base coat for nickel steel plating, electroplated copper provides superior protection against corrosion in comparison to other materials.
Copper is often used as a base coat for other plated layers due to it’s good adhesion properties.
Copper plating is widely used in electrical, electronics and semi conductor industries over a wide range of products. We ensure the highest quality results by plating copper in accordance with MIL-C-14550 and ASTM-B-734.
