Gold, Silver & Custom Plating Services
Accurate Precision Plating is committed to becoming a leader in industrial metal finishing and plating. From gold plating services to silver, nickel and more, our permanent goal is to serve our customers with dedication, continuous training, and self-education. This will allow us, both our customers and APP, to achieve EXCELLENCE through ACCURACY and PRECISION.
When a part fails due to corrosion, poor conductivity, or inadequate surface hardness, the entire production line can grind to a halt. Accurate Precision Plating delivers industrial metal finishing solutions engineered to solve those problems before they start. From tight-tolerance aerospace components to high-volume industrial parts, our coatings protect, perform, and meet specification, every time.
Gold Plating — Delivers exceptional conductivity and corrosion resistance for connectors, contacts, and precision electronics where performance cannot be compromised.
Silver Plating — Provides superior electrical conductivity and thermal performance, commonly specified for busbars, switchgear, and RF components.
Copper Plating — Used as a base layer to improve adhesion, enhance electrical conductivity, and protect substrates in demanding industrial applications.
Bright Nickel Plating — Produces a highly reflective, corrosion-resistant finish that meets ASTM B689 and QQ-N-290 specifications for decorative and functional parts.
Electroless Nickel Plating — Deposits a uniform coating over complex geometries without the use of electric current, providing excellent wear and corrosion resistance for precision components.
Electrolytic Plating — Uses a controlled electrical current to deposit a consistent metal coating, ideal for parts requiring precise thickness control and strong adhesion.
Tin Plating — Offers reliable corrosion protection and solderability for electronic and industrial components exposed to harsh operating environments.
Sulfamate Nickel — Produces a low-stress nickel deposit with excellent ductility, suited for parts that require dimensional restoration or heavy buildup without distortion.
Achieving a quality finish starts well before the plating tank. APP's full suite of metal plating services covers every stage of the process, from surface preparation through final coating, so your parts arrive ready for immediate use.
Electroplating — The foundation of our operation. We electroplate stainless steel, aluminum, and a broad range of base metals with the precision your application demands.
Passivation — Removes free iron and surface contaminants from stainless steel per QQ-P-35C, improving corrosion resistance without altering part dimensions.
Chemical Clean (Acid Wash) — Prepares metal substrates by removing oxides, scale, and surface soils to ensure maximum coating adhesion and a defect-free finish.
Bead Blasting — Creates a clean, uniform surface profile through controlled abrasive blasting, improving adhesion and producing a consistent matte appearance on metal parts.
Custom Masking — Protects designated areas of a part from plating using precision-fitted masking, ensuring selective coatings are applied exactly where specified.
Industrial Metal Plating Methods
Choosing the right industrial metal plating method directly impacts coating quality, throughput, and cost. APP offers two proven methods to match the geometry and volume requirements of your project.
Rack Plating — Parts are individually fixtured on racks during the plating process, making this method ideal for large, complex, or delicate components that require precise coating control and surface protection
Barrel Plating — Smaller parts are processed together in a rotating barrel, making this the efficient choice for high-volume runs of fasteners, connectors, and other small components.
Precision Plating Capabilities
Meeting a specification is not enough when a few tenths of a thousandth of an inch can determine whether a part passes or fails. APP's precision plating capabilities are built for engineers who need repeatable, verifiable results.
Close Tolerance Plating — APP specializes in depositing coatings within extremely tight dimensional tolerances, protecting the fit and function of precision-machined components without rework.
Fast Turnaround Industrial Metal Plating — With 1-2 day turnaround available and 24-hour facility operations, APP keeps your production schedule moving when deadlines cannot slip.
