Precious Metals

Precious metals display valuable properties for various industrial applications. These processes resolve many solutions with excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, as well as superb conductivity and ductility. These metals’ significant luminescence makes their respective processes a very popular option. While the process is more costly, the remarkable quality offsets its price over time.

Description

Gold plating offers exceptional solderability, as well as an excellent reflector of infrared radiation for microwave applications. The process enables excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Also, gold is a noble metal that is unreactive and not readily oxidized under normal conditions. Therefore, gold metal is outstanding choice for engineering and design requirements that calls for solderability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.
