Plating is the process of depositing a metal coating onto a substrate. This can increase rust prevention, wear resistance and increase strength. Plating is known for corrosion resistance increasing the lifetime of your part. We currently offer Zinc and Nickel plating.
Please note: Plating adds 7-10 days of production time.
