Copper Plating Services in Buffalo, NY
Copper plating is used both as a functional final finish and as a critical underplate for subsequent metal deposits. It offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, strong adhesion characteristics, and reliable solderability for a wide range of industrial applications.
Keystone Corporation provides professional copper plating services for manufacturers in Buffalo, NY and throughout Western New York. Our copper plating processes support both rack and barrel applications, allowing us to handle precision components as well as high-volume production efficiently.
As a final deposit, copper plating is commonly used to enhance brazing performance, improve electrical conductivity, act as a high-temperature lubricant, and serve as a heat-treatment stop-off. Copper is easily buffed to a high luster and delivers excellent solderability, making it well suited for electrical components and hardware.
Copper is also widely used as an underplate beneath nickel, tin, tin/lead, gold, or silver deposits. As an undercoat, copper improves adhesion, enhances electrical properties, limits migration of alloying elements, and increases the corrosion resistance of the final plated system. Copper plating provides an effective diffusion barrier that prevents base material elements from migrating into subsequent plating layers.
