Industrial Plating Company is best known for its efforts, skills and experiences in servicing the textile industry; however, Industrial Plating Company has the expertise, equipment and facilities to service all industries that use rolls, drums, shafts, etc. for processing. We do repair work on the following types of textile rollers: Toray, Plantex, Barmag, Filteco, Leesona, Mackie, Neumag and Reiter, to name just a few.

Industrial Plating Company has the capabilities to chrome plate parts to multiple existing Specifications and/or Drawings, those specific to your company; or, we can develop a written specification from your existing parts where none exists in print.

Industrial Hard Chrome Plating is a layer of chromium which is applied to metal parts through the process of electroplating. Chrome Plating is an excellent choice where there is a need to reduce friction, improve corrosion resistance, improve surface hardness and to build up thickness to restore diameter. These attributes make chrome plating a great choice for parts that are subjected to high wear such as textile rolls and guides, hydraulic shafts, printing rolls, wear pins and others.

Industrial Plating does not provide "decorative chrome plating" for items such as furniture, hub caps, exhaust pipes, etc.

Industrial Plating Company offers its customers the advantages of the revolutionary Plasma Flame Spray Process and Metalizing. With these processes we are able to create thermal barriers, increase wear resistance, insulate or conduct electricity and stop corrosion.

The applications of Plasma Flame Spray and Metalizing are practically unlimited. Many materials that can be prepared in a powder form can be applied through these processes; and, virtually any finish desired can be obtained.

The Plasma Gun system used by Industrial Plating Company involves a large array of sophisticated equipment which assures high quality results.

A ceramic coating can transform an ordinary metal into a high-performance material. But there's more to it than just deciding on which coating to use.

Ceramic powders are introduced into a 30,000°F arc of partially ionized gas (plasma) which melts the particles and propels them onto a substrate.

Advantages

    - increase part service life
    - salvage machined parts
    - reduce corrosion
    - reduce overtime
    - reduce inventory of spare parts

The Diamond Jet System utilizes the HVOF process to produce repeatable high quality metal, carbide and various specialty coatings.

A unique line of powders has been specifically engineered for application with this process. The bond strength of these coatings is typically higher than those achieved with other thermal spray methods. Diamond Jet coatings have been shown to display superior wear, which can be attributed to the unique combination of higher hardness and low porosity levels.

Proper application is extremely critical. High bond strength is possible only through careful control of the melting and subsequent propelling of ceramic particles onto substrate.

Surface Roughening
Abrasive grit blasting is for surface roughening of the substrate. The results of proper roughening are increased interlocking of coating laminations, increased bond area and decreased surface contamination.

Undercoating
Nickel bond coat (undercoat) is used when applying ceramic coatings. Undercoatings provide increased bond strength and minimize the problems associated with the thermal expansion differential between metals and ceramics.

Finishing
The finishing of ceramic coatings requires special care. The coatings usually are harder than metals; and, thermal stress buildup must be avoided during finishing.

Precision grinders are used in finishing a ceramic coating. Lapping and grinding with specialized belts are also used for finishing.

The three most important performance features of ceramic coatings are abrasion resistance, resistance to high temperatures and electrical insulation. The coatings also resist oxidizing agents, strong acids and alkalis.

Abrasion Resistance is the most common application for ceramic coatings. The coating helps to prevent wear, fretting, galling, rubbing or sliding wear and particle erosion. Many ceramic coatings offer abrasion resistance that is superior to stainless steel, hardened steel or hard metal coating processes.
