Franke Plating Works has got it covered when it comes to efficient metal plating. The six state-of-the-art, electronically programmed hoist lines at Franke Plating Works carry parts to their plating tanks. They have the capability of electroplating your parts in many different metals for strength, cosmetic needs, function, fit and durability. At the same time, they can enhance the beauty of your parts by plating them in Copper, Bright Nickel, NICKEL CHROME, ELECTROLESS NICKEL, Zinc (rack and barrel), Cadmium (rack and barrel), Zinc Phosphate, Mag Phosphate, all Passivate of Stainless, Bright-Dipping, Polishing, Wheelabrate and Shot Blasting. Plus, Franke has the capability to handle 6.5-foot chrome projects through our brand-new chrome plating room. Franke Plating Works also has the capability to plate on any metal, Copper/Nickel Chrome for Decorative or Industrial uses.
Ceratoke
Cerakote is the World Class Leader in thin film ceramic coating. Distinctive high-end look and feel that you have to experience to believe. Easy application, single coat, and oven cured.
Phosphate
Phosphate coatings are used on steel parts for corrosion resistance, lubricity, or as a foundation for subsequent coatings or painting. Phosphate conversion coatings can be used on a variety of materials.
Pickle & Oil
Pickling is a metal surface treatment used to remove impurities, such as stains, inorganic contaminants, rust or scale from ferrous metals, copper, precious metals and aluminum alloys.
Zinc
Zinc plating is a process to protect against corrosion. The process involves electroplating, running a current through a solution with a zinc anode and steel conductor.
Bright Dip
Bright Dip is a chemical process that brightens brass and copper that does not leave a deposit on the surface of the part.
Electroless Nickel
Plating of Nickel alloy deposits onto a suitable substrate using a chemical reduction process.
Copper
Copper plating is used for heat treat stop off, steel wire for electrical use, decorative, solder, and as a copper plate prior to subsequent plating processes on steel.
Chromatic Conversion
Chromate Conversion is a type of conversion coating used to passivate steel, aluminum, zinc, cadmium, copper, silver, magnesium, and tin alloys.
Cosmichrome
Cosmichrome is a metallic finish that can be used to give porous substrates such as wood, plaster, ceramic, urethane foam and fiberglass a metallic chrome look.
Cadmium
Electroplated cadmium is a robust and versatile metallic coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that , when plated onto steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal, functions as a “sacrificial coating”, corroding before the substrate material.
Passivation
Passivation improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing contaminants, restoring the metal to its original specifications.
