Challenges East Side Plating Can Help Solve
Selecting a finish for the component’s function
East Side lists nickel, tin, and zinc systems among its plating options. Its service descriptions address corrosion protection, wear, appearance, and solderability for selected deposits. The drawing should identify which of these requirements determines acceptance.
Handling different component geometries
Rack and barrel capabilities provide alternative processing routes. Specify cosmetic zones and contact restrictions when selecting a route, especially where bulk handling or rack marks could affect the finished component.
Coordinating finishing and identification
The company also lists polishing, powder coating, and laser marking. Buyers can discuss these operations alongside plating while keeping their purposes distinct. Define marking location, readability, and coating sequence if identification is required on a finished part.
Supported Plating Processes
| Types of Plating | Zinc with clear, yellow, or black chromate; bright nickel, sulfamate nickel, electroless nickel, nickel-chrome, bright tin, and matte silver |
|---|---|
| Substrates | A range of metal substrates is described. Confirm alloy compatibility for each plating system; aluminum conversion coating and stainless-steel passivation are separate treatments. |
| Functional Properties | Corrosion and wear protection, decorative appearance, or solderability, according to the selected finish |
When Is East Side Plating a Good Fit?
Contact East Side for industrial parts requiring rack or barrel plating, especially when the order also includes preparation or identification work. Provide the alloy, thickness, appearance standard, critical dimensions, and quantities. Specify conversion coatings, paint, or dip-spin coatings separately where they form part of the required finish.
