Challenges J&M Plating Can Help Solve
Coordinating heat treatment and finishing
J&M offers heat treatment, zinc-based electroplating, and dip-spin coating within its service range. Projects requiring several of these stages can be discussed as a complete processing route. The order of operations and any material-specific restrictions should be established against the part drawing.
Defining a corrosion-protection system
The company lists zinc and zinc-nickel electroplating as well as zinc flake coatings. Zinc flake dip-spin coating is a separate process from electroplating. Buyers should specify the required system and test criteria rather than treat the processes as interchangeable.
Preparing fasteners for subsequent assembly
J&M also lists thread-locking patches, machine sorting, and packaging. Its quality page describes statistical process control for plating baths and process traceability. Finishing, sorting, and delivery requirements can therefore be discussed together, with the required records and acceptance criteria included in the order.
Supported Plating Processes
| Types of Plating | Zinc and zinc-nickel electroplating. Related services include zinc flake dip-spin coating and zinc phosphate treatment. |
|---|---|
| Substrates | The reviewed core service pages focus on fasteners but do not provide a complete plating substrate list. Confirm the alloy, hardness, and heat-treatment condition. |
| Functional Properties | Corrosion protection from the specified coating system. Thread locking is provided through a separate patch application, not through the plated deposit. |
When Is J&M Plating a Good Fit?
Contact J&M when a fastener program needs multiple post-manufacturing operations coordinated with plating. Provide the part specification, material condition, coating designation, lot quantities, and sorting requirements. For high-strength parts, confirm the required controls for hydrogen embrittlement and the associated documentation. Ask for current quality and laboratory scope documents if these are purchasing requirements.

by Industry
and Component Type
Semiconductor Components
“We need a shop for difficult plating others declined.”
Japan, est. 1931
- Precious Metal Plating
for Micro Components - Mitsuya supports uniform precious metal plating on parts down to 0.1 mm in diameter. This can help improve precision and durability in semiconductor inspection equipment.
- High-Adhesion Plating
for Tips and Contacts - Mitsuya has developed an in-house process for titanium and tungsten that does not require heat treatment. It can support high-adhesion plating on pin and card contact areas.
- Support for New Product Development
- Engineers can consult Mitsuya before semiconductor IC specifications are finalized and verify performance through prototypes. This can help reduce development risk and rework costs.
- Electronics and Telecommunications
- Semiconductor Inspection Equipment
- Space Development
Automotive Components
“We need 10 million parts delivered on time, every time.”
U.S., est. 1932
- Consistent Quality and
Lead Times at Volume - Greystone has an annual mass-production record of 130 million automotive parts*1 through machining and plating.
- Single-Source Support from Processing through Plating
- Machining and plating are completed within the same group. Fewer delays between processes can help reduce costs.
- Quality Standards
Automakers Trust - All U.S. locations are IATF 16949 certified, with plating process control that meets OEM quality standards.
- Automotive
- Firearms
Aircraft

“Nadcap is required. We need proven certification experience.”
U.S., est. 1960
- Smoother Approval
from Major Primes - An approved supplier to Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and others, with more than 80 Nadcap-accredited processes.
- Aerospace & Defense Work on a Certification-First Basis
- Proven across a wide range of mission-critical components, including missiles and fighter aircraft.
- Meets Defense Standards, Even the Strictest
- Its cadmium-replacement zinc-nickel plating won a 2020 Secretary of Defense Environmental Award and has been used on the F-35*2.
