Copper Plating                                 Back to Process Capabilities

Hohman Plating provides both Acid copper and Cyanide copper finishes. Rack or Barrel method.

Acid copper is used for thicker coatings where a level deposit is needed. It cannot be applied directly over steel or zinc (due to the high sulfuric acid content), unless cyanide copper is used as an initial layer. Acid copper is softer, and brighter than cyanide copper. This makes it a better choice for machining or polishing after plating. Thickness of deposits can range from coverage to .030 inch.

Applications for copper are:

  • Heat Treat maskant.
  • As a coating prior to nickel-chrome.
  • To eliminate deep scratches in base metal by heavy plating followed by polishing.
  • Brazing.
  • Repair.
  • Electroforming.
  • Drawing lubricant.

Properties:

  • Bright.
  • Ductile.
  • Easily buffed.
  • Conductivity (only exceeded by silver).
  • Easily machined.

Immersion Copper finish is provided upon request.
