SIFCO Process® plating solutions include AeroNikl®, Cadmium LHE®, copper, nickel, cobalt, gold, silver, tin, zinc, as well as alloys for Babbitt, brass, bronze, cobalt-tungsten, nickel-cobalt, nickel-phosphorous, nickel-tungsten, tin-zinc, zinc nickel and many more.

A plating solution family may contain several different plating solutions (formulations) that provide different deposit characteristics (structure, hardness, wear resistence, and corrosion resistance for instance).  For example: The silver plating solution family contains both cyanide and non-cyanide formulations; the nickel plating solution family consists of fifteen different formulations and offers a wide variety of performace characteristics.

Let us help you find a solution to meet your deposit performance requirements!
