Many electroplating options are available depending on the application wanted. Gold is advantageous for biocompatibility, platinum for components of pacemakers, and silver for situations that require very high levels of electrical conductivity. Copper plating is a commonly utilized choice in various circumstances. Industries that use this metal can include HVAC, electronics, semiconductors, and aerospace to …
Medical stents and applications can range to many different areas of the medical industry depending on the need. Stents are mini mesh tubes that have a purpose to hold passages open in the human body. They are widely used to treat many medical diseases and conditions in our world today in a minimally invasive process …
Catheters play a pivotal role in many medical procedures that are performed today. A catheter is a medically graded thin tube that is designed to treat a specific medical disease or perform specific practices. Procedures such as heart biopsies, cardiac ablation, heart valve replacements, assisting with urinary incontinence, and treating multiple sclerosis and dementia can …
Printed circuit boards are used in many items that you may not think of. Many industries use them such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and military among others. They exist in many common products like computers, printers, televisions, lights, audio systems, and automotive parts like indicators and brake lights to name a few. PCBs are critical …
Electroless Nickel plating is an autocatalytic chemistry, meaning it is not electrodeposited. It is a deposit of Nickel and Phosphorous onto a surface. As the process name implies, this reaction is autocatalytic: once it starts, the presence of nickel acts as a catalyst to keep the reaction going. Deposit thicknesses can range from a …

Tin plating is no longer offered a ProPlate® Bright acid Tin plating is a silver-colored, ductile metal whose primary application imparts solderability to otherwise unsolderable base metals. Tin generally has good covering characteristics over a wide range of shapes. Historically Tin has been utilized for its combined corrosion protection and conductivity in avionics radio …
Carbon steel is an extremely common type of steel. It is also the most susceptible to damage and corrosion, making carbon steel a great candidate for electroplating. Carbon steel is very susceptible to rust and corrosion if left untreated. Bare carbon steel is often coated in oil to prevent corrosion. If the oil is removed, …
NO LONGER A SERVICE OFFERED AT PROPLATE® Passivation is the overlaying of a substrate or base layer with another metal. The intent is to remove any foreign or undesirable traits and improve the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel component. Chemical passivation has as its major goal to provide a layer of protection over the …
Platinum is primarily used in jewelry, but its application in the medical field, dental, and electronic components are vast. Platinum has very similar qualities to Gold at almost half the cost. As of recent, Gold is about $1,890.90 an ounce, and Platinum is about $1,043.10 per ounce. Currently, ProPlate’s has Platinum capabilities for smaller parts …

Rhodium Plating Electrical Contacts, PCB’s & Semiconductor Components Rhodium is a rare earth metal which is a silver-white color, chemically inert, hard transition metal. It is a member of the platinum group, along with iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, and ruthenium. Rhodium is extremely durable with a Vickers Hardness of 1246 MPa. It is resistant to …
Gold & Platinum Ring-Electrodes Electroplating Catheter Electrodes There are several different broad categories of electrodes used in catheter assemblies; ring electrodes, electrode pads, probes, cores and wires. Traditionally catheter manufacturers and OEM’s implement platinum-iridium (Pt/Ir) or stainless-steel electrode components, through laser micro-machining, crimping, coiling or swaging onto industry standard nitinol, tungsten, MP35N, or stainless-steel base …
Plating Neodymium Iron Boron Magnets Neodymium Iron Boron Magnets are one of the most powerful commercial permanent magnets available today. These rare earth magnets can be up to 10 times stronger than the strongest ceramic magnet. NdFeB magnets are typically produced using one of two general method categories, bonded magnets (compression, injection, extrusion or calendaring …
