B & B Plating specializes in bar plating for a wide range of industries, providing high-quality surface finishes that meet the demanding requirements of modern manufacturing, electrical, and structural applications.

Why Bar Plating Matters

Bar plating is the process of coating metal bars—such as steel, copper, aluminum, or brass—with a thin layer of another metal to improve their properties. This process is critical in applications where corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and wear performance are essential.

B & B Plating utilizes advanced plating techniques to deliver superior results for every bar they finish. Whether the goal is to increase corrosion resistance, enhance conductivity, or achieve a decorative finish, their plating solutions are engineered to perform.

Plating for Corrosion Resistance

One of the most common reasons for bar plating is to protect the underlying metal from corrosion. B & B Plating offers zinc, tin, and nickel plating services to shield metal bars from rust and oxidation, particularly in outdoor or high-moisture environments. This makes their services ideal for construction, industrial equipment, and power distribution systems.

Electrical Conductivity and Bus Bar Applications

For the electrical industry, B & B Plating specializes in plating copper and aluminum bus bars with conductive metals such as tin and silver. These finishes not only protect the bars from oxidation but also ensure reliable, low-resistance electrical connections. This is critical in applications such as switchgear, power panels, and energy storage systems.

Enhanced Wear and Chemical Resistance

Plating also provides a protective surface that resists abrasion and exposure to harsh chemicals. B & B Plating’s nickel and chrome plating options add a tough, durable layer that extends the lifespan of metal bars in demanding mechanical and industrial environments.

Precision and Aesthetic Finishes

In addition to performance-driven plating, B & B Plating offers finishes that enhance the appearance of metal bars. Their chrome and nickel plating solutions provide smooth, reflective surfaces suitable for decorative trim, automotive applications, and architectural components. Every finish is applied with precision, ensuring consistency and quality across every bar.

Supporting Manufacturing with Solderability

For manufacturers working with electrical assemblies, plating can greatly improve solderability. B & B Plating offers tin-plated finishes that make it easier to achieve reliable solder joints, reducing assembly time and improving overall product quality.
