Quality

All received work requires an internally generated job card which follows the work from contract review to dispatch to ensure we work to the specifications of the parts.

All our solutions are monitored daily in-house by our expert platers. Alongside regular chemical analysis by our chemical suppliers to ensure the quality of the solutions is the best it can physically be.

Post plating parts are checked in our in-house inspection room by our knowledgeable quality team.

During the inspection we use our state-of-the-art X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) machine to check base material pre plating and the thickness post plating. This is essential to confirm that the plating process has been successful and adheres to drawing specifications.

During the inspection we use the Bend test, this is vital to ensure that the adhesion of the deposited plating has fused with the base material. Test pieces are generally provided by the customer to ensure there is consistency with the base material when we undertake the test. The test piece is then manipulated (bent) and observed under a magnification to see if there is any flaking or peeling of the substrate.
