Gold Plating
Gold Electroplating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal. Gold plating finds its uses in jewelry, semiconductor industry. It often requires that the substrate be cleaned Read more…
Tin Plating
AST provides a Bright Acid Tin plating compliant to MIL-T-10727, Type I and ASTM B 545. Our tin plating processes facilitate soldering and improve anti-galling properties in steel, brass, copper, plus numerous other substrates, which otherwise have poor solderability. Tin plating exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity in a variety of electrical as well as electronic components.
