Gives excellent results on virtually all commonly used base metals and alloys. Deposit quality and adhesion to base materials equivalent or superior to tank plating. Over 40 years of research and development in selective electro-finishing technology. In contrast to tank plating, Electrochemical Metallizing Process does not require extensive masking, special fixtures, or elaborate equipment. Electrochemical Metallizing Process deposits have excellent adhesion at rates that are 30 to 60 times faster than conventional tank plating. Quality of deposits and adhesion to base materials are, as a whole, equivalent or superior to that which may be obtained using good tank plating practices. Damage from wear, corrosion, or mis-machining can be repaired using Electrochemical Metallizing. Deposits that offer wear resistance, low electrical contact resistance, or corrosion protection also can be applied selectively to improve components that have been manufactured from inexpensive base metals. Electrochemical Metallizing Process equipment is portable, enabling the operator to meet metallizing and build-up requirements wherever they arise. This flexibility is an important cost and time saver. It minimizes dismantling, downtime, turnaround delays, and shipping charges usually associated with sending parts out to be metallized. The process does not require preheating or postheating of the substrate, thus avoiding elevated temperature induced stress. Even during long operations that require heated solutions, temperatures of the solutions seldom exceed 140° F. Electrochemical Metallizing also avoids other problems that are common to most repair processes such as induced porosity, improper mechanical bonding, hydrogen embrittlement, and removal of excess host material which weakens the component. Many repairs are accomplished without pre-machining or post-machining. (The determining factors are thickness of deposit, tolerance called for and finish requirement.) Many applications metallize to size, others are ground or machined, based on specific instructions.
