Brush Plating

Cast Iron Welding

Brush plating is an electrochemical metallizing process which electrodeposits a coating on a plateable metal. The end result is similar to that obtained from a conventional plating bath except that the electrodeposit is “brushed” onto the surface to be coated.

Applications consists of:

  • [For thick deposits (1-2.5 mm)]
    1. Resurfacing
    2. Resizing
    3. Metal restoring
  • [For thin deposits (<0.5 mm)]
    1. Corrosion resistance
    2. Electrical conductivity
    3. Surface hardness
Cast Iron Welding

The advantages of using Brush Plating over Bath Plating are:

  • Machining not required (Precise buildup)
  • Components do not have to be disassembled.
  • Plating can be accomplished On-site.
  • Has greater adhesion to aluminum and stainless, carbon and refractory metals.
  • Avoids elaborate masking on limited areas.
  • Deposition rate is increased.
  • No hydrogen embrittlement.
