Metals We Work With
At K&L Plating, our team brings decades of experience working with a variety of processes and materials. Our goal is to provide quality metal plating services that meet your project’s needs and specifications.
See some of the substrate materials we work with and the processes that go with them.
Aluminum
Aluminum and aluminum alloys are one of the most popular materials to work with due to its durability, strength, and light weight. Our metal plating processes can provide a protective coating to enhance aluminum’s performance.
Aluminum Processes:
- Chemical Film Coating for Aluminum
- Electroless Nickel Plating for Aluminum
- Solid Film Lubricant for Aluminum
Steel
Extend the longevity and durability of your steel substrate with metal platings and coatings. These finishes can protect your steel from corrosion, wear, and chemical damage.
Steel Metal Plating Processes:
- Electroless Nickel Plating for Steel
- Phosphate Conversion Coating for Steel
- Zinc Plating for Steel
- Solid Film Lubricant for Steel
Stainless Steel
For corrosive environments and applications, we can passivate stainless steel for rust & corrosion protection. Our processes are customized to your specific grade of stainless steel, ensuring an optimal result.
Stainless Steel Finishing Processes:
- Passivation for Stainless Steel
- Electroless Nickel Plating for Stainless Steel
- Solid Film Lubricant for Stainless Steel
Copper
Popular for its conductivity and malleability, copper substrates are commonly plated to prevent corrosion and reduce friction.
Copper Metal Plating Processes:
Iron
Thanks to zinc plating, you can provide durability and corrosion resistance to your iron parts or substrates.
