Electroplated Aluminum Coating Benefits
AlumiPlate® Aluminum Coating Technology Yields Typically Greater Than 99.99% Pure Aluminum
Pure electroplated aluminum has a variety of beneficial properties and features useful to many applications in a variety of markets and industries.
- High purity aluminum coating (99.99% Al) is free of contaminants and inclusions
- Non-hazardous, meeting requirements of RoHS, REACH and WEEE
- High ductility and adhesion allowing forming, crimping and machining after plating
- High electrical conductivity ideal for electrical connectors
- High thermal conductivity suitable for thermal management applications
- High service temperature capability of 400 °C and even higher for intermittent exposure
- Dense, thin and tough providing excellent barrier protection
- Sacrificially protects substrates from Aluminum alloys to steels to titanium
- No limit on plating thickness for applications requiring a thick coating (>500 µm/0.020” coatings are achievable)
- Non-embrittling, ideal protection for high strength steel, stainless steel and titanium components
- Able to withstand severe thermal cycling down to cryogenic temperatures
- Can be anodized, enhancing the anodization of Aluminum alloys and enabling the anodization of non-Aluminum alloys (copper and steel can be anodized after Aluminum plating)
- Type I Superconductor at 1.2 K
- Transparent to neutrons (low atomic Z number and low neutron cross section result in high neutron transmission probability of 96-99% for 0-10 MeV energy range)
