Plating on Brass

Alfa Chemistry is dedicated to plating on brass base materials to enhance the properties of brass.

At Alfa Chemistry, we offer high-quality plating services for brass components. Our experienced specialists ensure thorough cleaning and preparation of the surface before the plating process, resulting in a flawless finish.

Introduction

Brass, a binary alloy of zinc and copper, is known for its affordability, low friction, machinability, heat and electrical conductivity. The inherent properties of brass make it a popular choice for various industries. Plating on brass serves multiple purposes, including enhancing durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. Alfa Chemistry specializes in offering top-notch plating services, with a focus on enhancing the properties of brass through various plating processes.

Automotive Industry

One prominent sector where brass finds extensive applications is the automotive industry. Brass components are utilized in various parts of vehicles, such as radiator cores, air conditioning systems, and fuel tanks, due to their corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity properties.

Plumbing Fixtures

Brass is commonly employed in plumbing fixtures and fittings due to its corrosion resistance and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions.

Musical Instruments

Musical instruments, such as trumpets, trombones, and saxophones, are predominantly made of brass.

Decorative Hardware

Brass is a popular material for decorative hardware such as cabinet pulls, doorknobs, and faucet handles in interior design.

Electrical Components

Due to its excellent electrical conductivity, brass is utilized in the manufacture of various electrical components, including connectors, terminals, and contact points.

Industrial Machinery

Brass components are integral to the operation of industrial machinery and equipment, where their combination of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance is highly valued.

Metals for Plating on Brass

When considering plating on brass, it is crucial to select the proper metals for the plating process to ensure the desired properties and appearance are achieved. Different metals offer unique benefits and characteristics that can enhance the performance and aesthetic appearance of brass. Some common metals used for plating on brass include nickel and chromium.

Nickel is a common metal used for plating on brass, particularly in electroless nickel plating processes. Studies have shown that electroless nickel plating on brass provides excellent corrosion resistance, a low friction coefficient, and a uniform coating thickness.

We provide Nickel Plating Intermediates, Nickel Plating Additives, and Nickel Plating Chemicals.

Chromium is a popular choice for plating on brass due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Studies have demonstrated that chromium plating on brass significantly improves the hardness and wear resistance of the material, making it suitable for applications that require enhanced mechanical properties.

We provide Chrome Plating Intermediates and Chrome Plating Additives.

In addition to nickel and chromium, other metals like copper, gold, and silver can also be used for plating on brass to achieve specific properties or decorative finishes. Each metal offers unique advantages that can be tailored to meet the requirements of different applications.
