chrome, nickel & zink on castings
We manufacture machined castings with galvanic coatings, for use in demanding machines:
- with galvanic or chemical plating in chrome, nickel or zinc
- typical castings are out of ductile iron or grey iron
- of course we also galvanize machined parts out of different kinds of steel
- even heavy (500 kg) and large parts (6 m) are possible
- galvanic plating can be on the entire surface
- or just partially, in order to keep tolerated surfaces free
- after galvanic plating we can continue with machining
- e.g. grinding the plated areas to tolerance
- typically the thickness of plating is between 20 and 50 mikrons
With the galvanizing we achieve the following effects:
- protection against corrosion, caused by humid air or by human contact
- increased hardness up to 60 HRC and prevention of dents
- high optical quality for visual parts
