For high-quality electroplating in complex and delicate components, B & B Plating stands as a trusted leader in the industry. Specializing in rack plating, we offer precision metal finishing solutions tailored to meet the demanding requirements of aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, and other high-performance industries.

What is Rack Plating?

Rack plating is an electroplating process designed for components that are large, intricate, fragile, or require selective plating. Unlike barrel plating, where parts tumble together, rack plating secures each item to a metal rack to ensure a uniform coating. This method is ideal for achieving consistent thickness, protecting delicate features, and selectively plating specific areas of a component. At B & B Plating, we employ cutting-edge rack plating technology to enhance the durability, conductivity, and corrosion resistance of precision-engineered parts.

Industries and Applications

Aerospace and Automotive Components

In the aerospace and automotive sectors, parts are constantly exposed to extreme conditions, including high temperatures, friction, and corrosive environments. B & B Plating provides specialized plating solutions for:

• Aerospace Components: Landing gear, turbine blades, hydraulic system parts, and fasteners require nickel, cadmium, or chrome plating to withstand harsh operational conditions.
• Automotive Components: Fuel injectors, brake calipers, engine components, and exhaust system parts benefit from zinc-nickel, chrome, or electroless nickel plating to prevent corrosion and extend their lifespan.

Electronics and Connectors

The performance and reliability of electronic devices depend on high-quality plated surfaces that enhance conductivity and prevent oxidation. B & B Plating offers precision plating for:

• Circuit Boards and Connectors: Gold or silver plating ensures excellent electrical conductivity and long-lasting signal integrity in high-performance electronics.
• Semiconductor Components: Thin, uniform coatings are applied to microprocessors and semiconductor wafers to maintain performance in advanced computing applications.
• Battery and Power Distribution Components: Tin, silver, and gold plating improve corrosion resistance and contact efficiency in electrical connectors and power distribution components.

Medical and Precision Instruments

Medical devices and precision instruments require plating solutions that provide biocompatibility, sterilization resistance, and durability. B & B Plating serves the medical industry with:

• Surgical Instruments: Nickel and chrome plating protect forceps, scalpels, and orthopedic tools from corrosion while maintaining a hygienic surface.
• Medical Implants and Devices: Titanium and stainless steel implants, including pacemakers and bone screws, benefit from specialized plating to ensure safety and compatibility with the human body.
• Diagnostic and Laboratory Equipment: Electrodes, medical sensors, and laboratory tools require corrosion-resistant finishes for accurate diagnostics and repeated sterilization cycles.
