Techmetals, Inc. is a recognized leader as an engineered metal finisher, researcher and consultant.

Our processes and services include:

ELECTROLESS NICKEL

Techmetals, Inc. does virtually every type of electroless nickel plating from the most corrosion resistant, high phosphorous coatings to Teflon nickel co-deposits.

Processes:

  • Techmetal-103 A high phosphorous electroless nickel free of heavy metal contaminants. Highly suitable for the food industry as well as expensive tooling requiring the ultimate in corrosion resistance.
  • Techmetal-104 This electroless nickel deposit was developed for jobs that must meet standard electroless nickel specifications while maintaining a bright attractive appearance.
  • Techmetal-127 The low phosphorous content of this coating brings many unique properties to the end user. An as plated hardness of 60 Rockwell C makes this an ideal coating for aluminum and "even" tempered alloys requiring a hard surface with no heat treatment. This deposit also exhibits a higher thermal resistance than other electroless nickels and is solderable. Applications for the aerospace, defense, foundry, automotive and chemical industries.
  • Techmetal-133 A boron electroless nickel with low stress and high hardness used in the electronic industry for its solderability, weldability and high melting point. Applications include lead frames and relay contractors, however, uses are limited due to coat factors.

HARD CHROME

Techmetals, Inc. provides hard chrome and salvage plating technology including a complete polishing department for molds, rolls and screws.

Processes:

  • Techmetal-105 A proprietary hard chrome that's brighter, harder, more corrosion-resistant and deposits more uniformly than standard hard chrome. Used in applications where a high finish must be maintained, such as molding and metal forming applications.
  • Techmetal-107 A satin hard chrome that offers greatly improved wearability and antigalling properties experienced in sliding wear. This coating retains oil and out performs hard chrome and electroless nickel under lubricated conditions.
  • Techmetal-119 Micro-cracked chrome molds and dies are impregnated with fluorocarbons providing hard chrome plating with increased release properties.

ELECTROLYTIC NICKEL

Techmetals, Inc. has the capability to provide the highest level possible of a pure nickel coating in thicknesses up to .250".

Processes:

  • Techmetal-123 An electrolytic amorous nickel-phosphorous coating containing 14% phosphorous. Limited to simple shapes, the corrosion resistance of this coating is superior and offers good lubricity. A less expensive alternative to electroless nickel.
  • Techmetal-125 An electrolytic cobalt-phosphorous coating containing 14% phosphorous. This combination provides outstanding wear and corrosion resistance in one coating. Works as a replacement for some exotic metals such as stellite and inconel.
  • Techmetal-131 An electrolytically applied coating of soft, ductile, stress free and machineable nickel. Coating thickness of up to .250" can be used on new parts for protection and also used as a salvage tool. Its exceptional corrosion resistance is applied in the nuclear, food, textile and medical industries.
