Quality

What is electroplating?

The purpose of every plating operation is to deposit the right thickness of the right materials in the right places through a combination of detail-oriented operations. A single part may be plated with two different metals, or may be plated in one area only and left unplated in another.

All metals require thorough chemical preparations before they can be plated. Some metals cannot effectively be plated electrolytically, but must be plated entirely through chemical means.

Aluminum parts are often not plated at all, but are anodized, a process which employs electrolysis to deposit a microscopically-thin oxide film on the aluminum surface.

Technically speaking, the total range of services offered by Vernon Plating can be described as "precision finishing."

What makes Vernon special?

Vernon Plating is committed to the highest standards in precision plating. Our quality control standards and procedures are as sophisticated as any in the industry. We have the in-house facilities to perform all necessary tests, and our rejection rate is nearly zero. Plating of "problem" jobs that other shops cannot handle is our specialty.

However, precision is more than just a matter of proper plating technique. In our laboratory, we carefully examine samples from every batch to ensure that the allowable tolerances have not been exceeded. Perfection is an ideal we consistently strive to achieve.

Vernon Plating also specializes in quick turn-around on prototype work.
