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. The process uses iron oxide to be coated into the materials. There are several benefits that brings together in utilising black oxide:

Reduction in light reflection.
Coating with black oxide enhances the thickness.
Black oxide also aids in enhancing the sharpness on items such as drills and screwdrivers.
Reduction of corrosion and friction.

Just as much as it is important to understand the materials that are commonly used for still plating on a detailed note, the following highlights on the process that is commonly used for still plating:

Preparation of the metal surface by a procedure taken to clean the metal. The following are achieved with this cleaning process:
Removal of oxide
Electro polishing
Alkaline cleaning procedure.

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.
