Copper

The Varland Advantage:

At Varland Plating, we offer advanced copper plating solutions across three automated plating lines, alongside our manual line. With fully automated control over barrel speed, amperage, voltage, and plating time, we deliver precise, consistent plating thickness with the highest level of quality. Our plating stations maintain historical electronic records to ensure traceability and reliability with every batch.

  • Precision Thickness Control: Plating thickness is verified using x-ray fluorescence technology, ensuring that every component meets the exact specifications required for its intended application.

  • Versatile Finish Options: We offer copper plating in a semi-bright finish for a clean, polished appearance, or an antique finish—sometimes referred to as statuary bronze or oil-rubbed bronze—perfect for aesthetic or decorative applications.

  • Foundation for Enhanced Plating: Copper serves as a crucial undercoat for both nickel and tin plating, enhancing adhesion and corrosion resistance for subsequent finishes.

Why Choose Copper?

  • Excellent Adhesion & Coverage: Copper plating provides superior adhesion, ensuring a strong bond between the base metal and subsequent plating layers. Its uniform coverage allows for consistent performance even in complex or intricate components.

  • Heat Treat Stop-Off: Copper is ideal for use as a heat treat stop-off, providing thermal protection for parts undergoing specific heat treatment processes.

  • Brazing & Electrical Applications: When plated to sufficient thickness, copper can be used in brazing operations, offering an effective and durable solution. Additionally, copper’s solderability and excellent conductivity make it a preferred choice for electrical components, where performance and reliability are critical.
