Process
Exact Plating and Anodizing to Specifications  
  • Soft Gold: 99.9%+ pure, for die attachment and wire bonding
  • Hard Gold: alloyed for wear resistance and low contact resistance
  • Silver: high purity and conductivity
  • Rhodium: extreme wear and corrosion resistance
  • Sulfamate Nickel: low stress and ductile
  • Hard Anodize: extreme hardness, dielectrics, corrosion resistance and crack free
  • Electroless Nickel: high phosphorous, nonmagnetic, food approved; for soldering, PDT
  • Platinum: dense, low stress, temperature resistant
  • Electropolish: aluminum, exotic metals, SST

Special Processes:
OptiBond (tm) unique activation processes maximum adhesion without etching of base materials.

OptiLube (tm) teflon impregnation of hard anodize, electroless nickel and other materials.

Difficult to Plate Metals: Electropolish of aluminum alloys and castings; kovar, invar, monel, stainless steels; titanium, nitinol, beryllium, molybdenum, tungsten, thermkon; mixed metal assemblies; rare earth magnets.

Non-Metals: Ceramic, plastic, glass, silicon carbide, virtually all materials.

Other Services: Precision masking, brush plating, ultrasonics, pulse plating, automated bead-blast, optical polish, lapping.

Proprietary Plating:
OptiGold (tm) "State of the art" 98%+ infrared reflectivity that can be applied directly to stainless steels.

OptiNickel (tm) breakthrough electroless coating providing optimum corrosion resistance, lubricity and wear properties equivalent to chromium. Defect free for diamond turning; optical lapping to 2 angstrom Ra.

OptiRhodium (tm) ultrahard, reflective, ductile, extremely corrosion resistant.
