Challenges Technical Plating Can Help Solve
Selecting electroless nickel chemistry
Technical Plating lists low-, medium-, and high-phosphorus electroless nickel, along with black nickel. These options call for a coating specification tied to the operating conditions. The company identifies steel, aluminum, and copper among the substrates it processes.
Preparing strip for soldering
Its reel-to-reel services include bright and matte tin, tin over nickel, and immersion matte tin on a separate line. Distinguish the required layer system and deposition method when specifying solderable strip, rather than requesting tin without further detail.
Matching handling to component form
Barrel, rack, and basket processing are available for electroless nickel. These handling choices should be discussed with reference to part size, potential contact damage, and critical surfaces. Strip products require a separate review of feed format and the continuous processing route.
Supported Plating Processes
| Types of Plating | Electroless nickel, electrolytic nickel, copper, tin, and tin-lead; reel-to-reel tin and nickel options are listed separately |
|---|---|
| Substrates | Steel, aluminum, and copper are explicitly listed for electroless nickel. Confirm the substrate for each other process. |
| Functional Properties | Wear and corrosion protection from selected nickel coatings; solderability from appropriate tin finishes |
When Is Technical Plating a Good Fit?
Contact Technical Plating for electroless nickel on individual components or tin/nickel finishing of strip products. Provide the base material, incoming form, thickness requirements, quantity, and subsequent forming or soldering operations. Confirm the applicable specification revision and delivery schedule for the selected line.

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

“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.
