Plating Sevices
Eigen is one of the foremost exponents in providing plating services globally. We are proficient in all of the latest in plating methodologies and are also eco-pioneers implementing clean and environmentally friendly plating techniques. We possess the technology and expertise when it comes to barrel plating which can cater to a variety of industries ranging from aerospace to automotive and consumer durables for a wide range of precious metals like gold, and silver; and non-precious metals such as tin, nickel and more. We also have the capabilities to work with metal alloys such as palladium-nickel, tin-lead, and other similar ones. With a global presence that spans all continents and geographies; wherever you are located, you are probably not too far away from Eigen.
Barrel plating is a technique that is used for plating small components that are otherwise difficult to plate. In this method, the parts are tumbled slowly in a barrel-shaped cage made from a non-conducting material, which is in turn submerged in a talk containing the electrolyte. Flexible metal wires are used to make cathodic contact with the tiny parts immersed in the electrolyte. There are stationary anodes that line the inside of the tank surrounding the barrel and the parts placed within it.
We can set up an automated barrel plating assembly designed to your specifications to suit your requirements, or you can use our electro-less nickel plating services with an auto-catalytic plating technique to deposit a layer of nickel alloy on a metal or non-metal workpiece.
We are also at the forefront of new plating techniques that use lead-free whiskers and an in-line reflow, which are both state-of-the-art as well as environmentally friendly plating implementations.
Quality is paramount here at Eigen, and we make sure that all metal services we offer our customers are of the best and highest quality and meet all the required quality standards. Our quality control laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art testing instruments such as X-ray fluoroscope to measure thickness, video microscopes for minute yet accurate visuals, steam aging, cross-sectioning equipment, salt spray test equipment, metallurgical microscopes, and more to assure consistent high-quality plating from our end.
Our plating techniques can be applied to metal products that were both stamped or formed. These techniques can also be used on slip stock. We can deliver the finished electroplated metals in the form of pancake coils and spools, wound transversely.
