Description of the Technologies

Zinc plating

is the anticorrosive protection of steel parts increased by blue or yellow chromating. In both cases, plating is made in suspension (for large parts up to 1500 x 1800) and in barrels (for small parts). With zinc plating in suspension, we are able to increase anticorrosive protection by applying water-based paint to zinc-plated and chromated parts.

Nickel plating

is the galvanic application of layers of copper and nickel for anticorrosive protection and decorative effects. Nickel plating is made in suspension (gloss nickel plating) and in barrels (both gloss and matte nickel plating).

Decorative chrome plating

is galvanic application of layers of copper, nickel and chrome to increase the anticorrosive protection of decorative effects of the parts.

Phosphating

is a chemical surface treatment resulting in the creation of a layer of manganese or zinc phosphate. This layer is used as a basic layer on which lacquer is applied, as it increases the adhesive property of the lacquer and prepares the surface for cold-forming (after soaping).

Blacking

is a chemical surface treatment used for decorative purposes, but it also has anticorrosive effects when combined with oiling. It is used for machine parts that must be kept greasy, as well as for metal parts of handguns.

Pickling

is the chemical removal of scales from steel and non-ferrous metal parts. Then the surface is passivated to ensure short-term anti-corrosive protection.
