Copper Plating Services

What is Copper (Cu) Plating?

Copper plating is one of the most versatile electroplating processes, offering both technical and aesthetic benefits. It is widely used for both functional purposes and as a decorative finish. Most commonly, it serves as a foundational undercoat to improve adhesion for subsequent coatings, such as nickel, silver, or chromium.

Benefits and Uses of Copper Plating

Copper plating provides several key advantages and is applied across a wide range of industries.

Key Benefits:

• Excellent Electrical Conductivity: Ideal for electronic and electrical components.
• Improved Adhesion: Acts as a crucial base layer for other plated metals.
• Corrosion Resistance: Protects base metals like steel and brass from oxidation.
• Surface Leveling: Smooth surfaces to enhance the final appearance of parts.
• Cost-Effective: A functional solution at a lower cost than precious metals.

Common Applications:

• Electronics & Electrical: Circuit boards, connectors, terminals, and contacts.
• Automotive: Fasteners, decorative trims, and electrical components.
• Industrial & Hardware: Machinery shafts, bearings, fittings, and protective coatings.
• Consumer Goods: Appliances, kitchenware, and decorative parts.
