Still Plating

Among the many plating services provided by Hilite the still plating service is one of the most demanded. Still plating provides:

corrosion resistance.
decorative appeal.
greater hardness.
Reduction in friction.
enhanced paint adhesion

Pickle and Passivated

Maintenance of stainless steel is an important process to understand, where efforts will be hindered if pickle and passivated process of stainless steel is not undertaken. This is in fact essential since stainless steel can get corroded if there are chances of contamination of the surface.

Electropoloshing

Electro polishing involves the removing of a thin layer of material from a metal surface which is usually stainless steel. Electro polishing is furthermost used for polishing and deburring surfaces that are either fragile or parts that have complex geometries. Electro Polishing ultimately bring about a shiny and ultra clean finishing surface.

At Hilite Plating we value the long service of employees as often they are responsible for the best result.

Chrome Plating

Chrome plating also denoted as chromium plating is utilised greatly to enhance decorative surfaces. Chrome plating also enhances on the hardness and corrosion resistance on the metal.

Nickel Plating

Nickel plating is a common plating process with the demand the metal nickel itself have, which is mainly used in electroless plating processes.

Copper Plating

Copper plating is used for items that require a high level of conductivity and cost efficiency and copper is one of the most used metals for plating.

Black Oxide

The process of black oxide coating involves coating of materials such as steel, copper, stainless, copper based alloys and zinc to note a few that goes through a chemical coating procedure.

PROCESS & PRODUCTION

Electrodepositing is the process used in electroplating, it is analogous to a galvanic cell acting in reverse. The metal to be electroplated along with another metal of a similar kind is placed in a container filled with one or more metal salts and is connected to an electrical circuit.
