VMT 2023 09 17 Nickel plating, also known as nickel electroplating, is a surface finishing process that involves depositing a layer of nickel onto the surface of a metal or other substrate. This electrochemical process is used to enhance the appearance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of the coated object. Nickel plating can be applied to a wide range of materials, including steel, brass, copper, and even plastics.

VMT 2023 09 13 Powder coating brass refers to the process of applying a dry powder coating material to the surface of brass objects or components. This coating material is typically a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin. The process involves electrostatically charging the powder particles and then applying them to the grounded brass surface. Once the powder is evenly distributed on the brass, the object is heated in an oven. During the curing process, the powder melts, flows, and forms a continuous, durable, and protective coating on the brass surface.

VMT 2023 09 12 Powder coating is a versatile and environmentally friendly method of applying a protective finish to various products. Unlike traditional liquid paint, which is solvent-based, powder coating involves the application of a dry, free-flowing powder to the surface of an object. This powder is then heat-cured to create a hard, durable, and attractive finish.
