Brush Plating 3 Things Your Platers Should Offer
If your knowledge of brush plating ends at the fact that you know you need to hire someone to do it
, thats OK. By being on the lookout for these 3 things, you can find the very best team for the job:
1. A Nadcap certification
If you work in the defense or the aeronautic industries, then working with Nadcap certified metal platers is an absolute necessity (in fact, it may be required by certain regulations). But if you work in another industry where brush plating is used, you may have your choice of platers.
Heres a tip never settle for anything less than Nadcap certified nickel platers. The hurdles these companies have to go through in order to get certified means that youre truly dealing with people that are head and shoulders above the rest.
Plus, having a Nadcap certification is proof that the company youre dealing with takes enough pride in its work to go through several months of appraisals and tests in order to be deemed the very best. That alone gives you some insight as to who youre dealing with!
The best quality isnt expensiveits priceless.
What could the costs of sub-standard (cheap) brush plating be?
The parts were plated and delivered on-timebut they plated the wrong area(s) on the part.
The parts were plated and delivered on-timebut the plating quality is far below that specified.
The parts were plated and delivered on-timebut the plater did a poor job of packing the parts and some were damaged in shipment.
The parts were platedbut not delivered on-time, making you look bad with your customer, or making you miss your production deadline.
2. On-site work
When youre dealing with a process thats as technical as brush plating (and equipment thats as sensitive and expensive as the stuff that you need brush plated), you need to limit transport as much as possible. After all, every time you box something up and ship it someplace, youre risking damage. In your industry, even the tiniest mis-calibration during shipping could possibly ruin weeks, even years worth of work!
Thats why its so important to find brush platers who can do all of the work on-site. A good company will have all of its labs, operators, and final quality control people under one roof so that your equipment only has to travel back and forth to you!
And, as an added benefit, on-site work makes for faster turnaround times. That way, youre not stuck for weeks on end waitingand waitingand waiting.
One source preparation, brush plating, and quality control means no finger-pointing.
3. Consultations
You may be an expert on your parts, but are you an expert on how best to brush plate it?
Talk to a firm with decades of experience. Sometimes a minor change in the part can make all the difference in the plating process. Higher quality and lower costs are often the result of a consultation during the design process.
