Introduction

Copper, a versatile metal renowned for its conductivity and malleability, holds significant importance in various industrial applications. However, despite its numerous advantages, copper is susceptible to problems such as corrosion and reduced strength, which has prompted people to enhance its natural properties through advanced plating processes. Alfa Chemistry, a prominent name in the field of plating, offers top-tier services to cater to the evolving needs of industries reliant on copper.

Methods for Plating on Copper

Electroplating and electroless plating stand out as the primary methods for plating on copper surfaces to enhance their functionalities. Electroplating involves submerging the workpiece in an electrolyte solution with dissolved metal ions and applying a direct current to stimulate electrodeposition. Electroless plating achieves coating deposition via an autocatalytic reaction without the need for an electrical current.

Metals for Plating on Copper

Alfa Chemistry utilizes various metals to plate copper base materials, thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance, strength, and other important properties of copper base materials. Metals such as chrome and nickel are commonly employed for plating on copper. They bring unique benefits, whether it's enhancing conductivity, increasing operating temperature, or improving solderability.

Copper naturally corrodes, forming a patina or a greenish oxide coating on the outside. Chrome layering can stave off these issues, as it drastically increases corrosion deterrence due to an even layer and natural resistance to many elements.

We provide Chrome Plating Intermediates and Chrome Plating Additives.

Nickel is a common metal used for plating on copper. Plating nickel on copper increases its overall conductivity because nickel is also a good conductor.

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