Optical Electroless Nickel Optical Grade Electroless Nickel (EN) is a high-phosphorous, high-build nickel deposit, which is formulated specifically for the optics industry. This coating is perfectly uniform and can be plated to thickness exceeding 0.026″. Optic Grade EN makes use of premium chemistry processes to meet the exacting specifications of our customers. It is highly
Optical Metal Finishes Techmetals offers a variety of optical coatings to help meet the exacting requirements of industries that produce such products as mirrors, optical lenses, precision tools, printing plates and more. We offer OPTAKOAT, a dense nickel phosphorus metal plating, specifically developed for the Optics & Diamond turning industry. And we also provide Silver and
Electropolishing / BioBrite Electropolishing (EP) is an electrochemical etching and passivation process Techmetals uses to deburr, smooth and brighten stainless steel (and aluminum) parts. This process is common in the medical industry, where tools and equipment require a smooth, clean finish. Our company offers solutions in EP and BioBrite – which is our medical grade,
PVD Coating / Thin Film Physical Vapor Deposition – also known as PVD Coating or Thin Film – refers to a variety of deposition techniques where solid metal vaporizes in a high vacuum environment. Then it deposits on electrically conductive materials as a pure metal or alloy coating. Since this is a “line of sight”
Passivation of Stainless Steel Our Passivation treatment helps reduce environmental factors like water or oxidation (rust) from compromising a stainless steel part. While being produced, iron deposits and other materials may be present on the parts you are to use. Consequently, such imperfections allow corrosion to begin affecting the substrate with harmful oxidation. To summarize,
