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…
Gold Plating
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.
Our functional Gold Plating coatings conform to
- MIL-G-45204
- ASTM B488
- AMS 2422
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.
