Luotettavaa pintakäsittelypalvelua!

Choosing the right coatings for the equipment and components needed by the industry can improve the functional properties and/or appearance of the products. The properties of metal coatings are used to produce products that meet their requirements in a cost-effective and environmentally efficient manner.

Eforit specializes in precious metal coatings and we have over 30 years of experience with them. We offer the widest selection of precious metal coatings in Finland. Thanks to our experience and professionalism, we are able to meet today’s strict quality requirements. 

The table below shows how the different properties of coatings can be utilized in product design. 

Feature
Description
Benefit
Protection
Provides protection against environmental conditions such as corrosion
The life of the product is extended and the need for maintenance is reduced
Aesthetics
Gives objects a valuable and durable look
Creates aesthetically pleasing, durable objects
Friction and wear resistance
Reducing surface friction and improving wear resistance
Improving the performance and durability of objects
Heat resistance
For example, a nickel and gold plating together
can withstand high temperatures
Protects components at high temperatures
and prolongs their service life
Magnetism
The nickel plating is used if magnetism is
desired from the product
Magnetic properties are obtained for the
non-magnetic base material
Conductivity
Silver and gold platings can improve the electrical
conductivity of the base material
A cost-effective method to improve
electrical conductivity
Hardness
Coatings are used to strengthen fragile materials
Coated objects are less sensitive to shocks and knocks
Reflectivity
(IR, UV and visible light)
Suitable coatings can improve the specific reflectivity of the object
Reduces the need for mechanical polishing of the product
to some extent and improves optical properties
Solderability
Surface metal required for soft soldering
Materials that are difficult to solder, such as aluminum,
can be chosen as the base material
Weight
The material solution can affect the weight of the final product
A lighter substrate can be selected as the base material
and still achieve the properties of material with a higher mass
Machinability
Certain materials are difficult/expensive to work with
The material which is easier to machine can be chosen and then plate afterwards
