Copper Plating

Copper plating, or copper electroplating, is the process of using an electrical current and chemical solution to apply a thin layer of copper to a substrates surface. It provides a sleek, aesthetically pleasing orange-gold finish to its substrates, and also provides a slew of new chemical and physical properties.

Copper itself is an efficient conductor of electricity and highly resistant to corrosion, making it a highly versatile surface finish across a variety of industries. From encasing crucial components within electronics to covering whole satellite parts, the uses for copper plating are expansive.

Please Note

While Copper is a very common and effective metal finish, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution to your surface finishing issues. Copper is a highly active metal, meaning it cannot be plated directly onto iron or other ferrous metals and therefore requires a pre-emptive nickel layer to be plated beforehand.

Other elements to consider before submitting a Copper plating purchase order are coating requirements, specification requirements, and any pre and post process treatments that will be required.
