Copper Electroplating

Copper Plating Performance Enhancements:

Copper Enhances Electrical Conductivity
Plating with Coppergreatly increases electrical conductivity, and in fact this may be Copper’s most widely sought surface-coating advantage. In cases where the base metal of a part is not very electrically conductive, copper plating greatly elevates the ability to pass electrical current.

Improved Thermal Conductivity
Copper plating offers very little resistance to the transfer of heat and cold. This makes Copper Electroplating a perfect solution for electronics and other machinery where temperature transfer needed. Often, this heat transfer plays an important role in the prevention of overheating in electronics and other temperature sensitive devices.

Copper is Extremely Solderable
Copper plating greatly enhances solderability and adhesion. This provides for secure soldered connections critical in electronics and other industries where contact strength is mandatory.

Copper Plating is Durable and Flexible
The malleability of Copper is a real advantage on parts that will receive additional plating or manufacturing. The core properties of copper allow it to perform planned mechanical movement and still stay in tact with the base part material.

Corrosion Resistant Copper
The chemical stability of Copper provides corrosion-resistance for most applications. Because of this, Copper is often used as a protective “barrier layer” to prevent corrosive deterioration on parts made of red or steel-based metals.

Anti-Bacterial Immunity
Copper’s chemical properties also provide a natural immunity against interacting with potentially harmful organisms and bacteria. This reduces the need for extensive disinfecting of copper parts used in lab equipment and other clean-room applications.

Cost-Efficient Copper
Copper plating is among the cheapest super-conductive metals on the planet. The process of Plating with Copper is also not too complicated, adding to the cost savings this coating delivers.
