Whitaker provides the Industry's best in Copper finishing. We utilize the copper cyanide process, which produces a more consistent quality finish for all applications. Typical applications include plating weld studs, brake and clutch plates, nuts and washers, and a variety of refrigeration components. Plating thicknesses range from a copper flash to more than .001 inch (25 microns) in certain clutch and brake applications.
Whitaker Finishing provides copper plating in both barrel and rack applications. Our copper flash plating is also used as a base for subsequent deposits such as nickel and nickel/chrome.
Cyanide copper plating can also be used on steel substrates for prevention of carbon penetration during the heat treat process (heat treat stop-off.) The copper is subsequently stripped off following the heat treat operation prior to further use.
