Copper plating of workpieces and objects

  • Galvanic surface refinement
  • Copper plating
We copper plate objects and workpieces as a pre-treatment to create a barrier layer in the galvanic coating structure. We also offer galvanic copper plating for decorative parts.

Copper coating in series, for components and individual parts

In the technical field, copper is used as an intermediate layer before silver plating or nickel plating of copper and copper alloys. Depending on the base material, the coating is either cyanide or acid electrolyte. The reddish colour of copper plating is interesting for decorative applications. After a copper coating, it is easy to polish and has good ductility, but copper is not resistant to tarnishing.

Our copper plating services

  • Copper plating of small to very small connectors using the barrel plating process
  • Copper plating of components for high-frequency technology, medium voltage, high voltage
  • Copper plating of complicated geometric components
  • Manual electroplating of individual parts or small barrel systems for small quantities with copper

Copper is a material with excellent electrical conductivity and adheres very well to many materials. For these reasons, copper plating is often used to make components more electrically conductive or to create a base for other coatings such as nickel or chrome. Copper plating parts ensures a smooth and even surface, which can then be further refined or used decoratively. With our copper electroplating, we always achieve uniform results for various options.

Questions and answers on copper plating

Copper plating is a proven process for applying a copper coating to metal surfaces. It is used for both technical and decorative applications. Electroplating copper creates an even, adhesive layer that protects the material and improves its conductivity. In industry in particular, galvanic copper plating is indispensable for making components more durable and resistant.

Using this tried-and-tested process, we can copper plate steel to achieve improved corrosion resistance or copper plate stainless steel to create a decorative and conductive surface. Copper plating steel provides an optimum adhesive base for further coatings.

To find out more about the copper plating process, we have answered some interesting questions about copper plating for you. Here you will find useful information on the possible applications, advantages and technical details of this process.

What is copper plating?

Copper plating is a process in which metal parts are coated with a layer of copper. This technique is often used for corrosion protection, to improve conductivity and as an adhesive base for further coatings. Copper electroplating in particular creates an even and well-adhering layer that protects and enhances the component.

A copper coating is indispensable in many industries. It improves electrical conductivity and ensures optimum heat distribution. Electroplating is frequently used in electronics and mechanical engineering in particular. Anyone who wants to have components professionally copper-plated benefits from a smooth, even and durable surface.

What are the advantages of a copper coating?

Copper plating makes your components corrosion-resistant, improves electrical conductivity and ensures high thermal conductivity. Copper electroplating is also often used as an intermediate layer to improve the adhesion of other coatings.

A copper coating protects components and improves their functionality. Copper electroplating is widely used in the automotive industry, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. It not only improves technical performance, but also provides an aesthetic, shiny surface. When you have components copper-plated, you get a resistant and durable protective layer.

We electroplate copper and carry out electroplating copper plating and refine components, workpieces and individual pieces.

Which metals can be copper-plated?

Copper plating is possible for steel, brass and aluminum, among others. In copper electroplating, the process ensures good adhesion to different materials.

Copper electroplating can also be used to protect base metals and make them more durable. In electrical engineering in particular, copper significantly improves electrical conductivity.

Our company offers professional copper electroplating for a wide range of requirements. Whether you want to have steel electroplated or brass copper-plated, we guarantee perfect processing.

How does galvanic copper plating work?

Electroplating is an electrochemical process. The component is immersed in a copper bath that is activated by an electric current. This causes copper ions to be deposited evenly on the surface to be coated.

Copper electroplating requires maximum precision. The coating thickness can be individually adjusted depending on requirements. A copper coating is often used as an adhesion promoter for further layers or applied directly as a functional protective layer. Anyone who wants to have components copper-plated benefits from an extremely durable surface with the best technical properties.

Why should you have components professionally copper-plated?

Copper plating requires experience and precision. For this reason, we recommend having components, objects and workpieces copper-plated by a professional. Only a perfectly applied copper coating offers optimum protection and improves the material properties. Those who opt for a high-quality copper coating protect their components against corrosion and wear in the long term. In industry in particular, electroplating copper is a proven method of improving the durability and functionality of components.

We specialize in galvanic copper plating and if you want to have metal parts professionally copper plated, we are your reliable partner.
