Advanced Surface Technologies offers Type III pure Gold Plating and Type I and II Nickel hardened plating of gold on a wide variety of substrates including Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Steel, Stainless Steel, and Magnesium.
With gold’s resistance to oxidization, good electrical conductivity, solderability, and reflective properties it’s an extremely dependable material used in aerospace, electronics, and medical applications. As the gold plating process requires a controlled environment, we perform operations in an area with independent air systems, separated from other plating processes.
