Chromic Acid Anodizing

Electrochemical process applied to produce an oxide coating on the surface of parts. Standard coating has a thickness range between 2-4 micron depending on alloys processed.

Chromic anodizing is used for corrosion protection and improve adhesion features for following organic coating.

Oxide coating can be sealed or not into different chemical solutions (dependig on final application of the parts), either with or without chrome, or colored according to pigmentation added.

Sulfuric Acid Anodizing

Electrochemical process applied to produce an oxide coating on the surface of parts. Standard coating has a thickness range between 5-15 micron depending on alloys processed.

Sulfuric anodizing is used for corrosion protection and improve adhesion features for following organic coating.

Oxide coating can be either sealed or not (dependig on final application of the parts) into different chemical solutions, with or without chrome, or colored according to pigmentation added (black, red, blue, green, brown, yellow).

Tartaric Sulfuric Acid Anodizing

Electrochemical process applied to produce an oxide coating on the surface of parts. Standard coating has a thickness range between 5-7 micron depending on alloys processed.

Oxide coating can be either sealed or not (depending on final application of the parts) into different chemical solutions, usually without chrome because REACH compliant.

Compared to chromic anodising, coating obtained has a light coarse-grained which improve painting adhesion and adhesive bonding.

Hard Anodizing

Electrochemical process applied to produce an oxide coating on the surface of parts. Coating thickness applicable is wide, starting from few micron up to a tenth of a millimeters. Often used to improve wear and corrosion resistance and paint adehsion properties for organic coatings.

Oxide coating can be either sealed or not by immersion into different chemical solutions, with or witout hexavalent chrome, or black colored.

In hard anodiziong process, and also for all others anodizing processes, half of thickness of coating is above the original surface, and half the thickness penetrates into the metal. This caracteristic shall be considerated during project phases.

Silver Plating

Silver plating is an electrolytic process applied by silver-ions deposition released from anode installed inside tanks. Part immerses into a cyanide solution work as cathode.

This plating provides good conductivity features, either electrical or termal, and gives a lower coefficient of friction between moving parts, in addition to being anti-fretting for threaded items.

Plating thickness can vary between few microns up to tenths of millimeters according the end use of the parts.

Electroless Nickel Plating

Electroless nickel plating is a chemical process applied by immersion of part into tanks containing nickel sulphate solution. This process is used to obtain compact plating, also for high thickness solutions, in order to improve corrosion and abrasion resistance. Moreover, electroless nickel plating is used to restore required dimension parts which are either worn or erroneously machined.

Nickel plating

Electrolytic process applied by immersion of part into nickel sulphate solutions which usually settles low thickness plating. Thanks to compact plating and optimal hardness performances, is often used for improve corrosion and wear resistance and restore required dimension parts.

Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection

Fluorent penetrant inspection is a non-destructive testing generally used for metal materials but, in case of specific technical requirments, can also be used for no metal materials.

With high sensitivity and precision, the inspection points out and make evident open discontinuty such as cracks, porosity and corrosions, although very small dimensions. The inspection is not applicable to porous materials.
