Copper Plating
General Metal Finishing provides copper plating services that can enhance companies’ products and components. Our copper finishes adhere to the industry standards of ASTM B734, MIL-C-14550, and AMS 2418.
Benefits of Copper Plating
- Excellent electrical conductivity – Ideal for bus bars, contacts, connectors, and RF components where low resistance is critical.
- Corrosion resistance protection – When properly over-plated, copper serves as an effective barrier in multi-layer systems.
- High thermal conductivity – Improves heat dissipation in electronics, heat sinks, and aerospace components.
- Strong adhesion – Copper bonds well to diverse metals and geometries, making it an ideal undercoat base in multilayer systems.
- EMI/RFI shielding – Provides effective electromagnetic interference protection for aerospace and electronics enclosures.
- Solderability – Excellent base layer for soldered electronic assemblies.
- Superior ductility – Copper deposits are flexible and resist cracking during forming, crimping, or thermal cycling.
Common Copper Plating Applications
Copper plating is used by diverse industries in applications like:
- Electronic components like circuit boards, wiring, connectors, contacts, and RF components.
- Thermal management components such as heat sinks and cold plates in power electronics and high-performance systems.
- Aerospace parts like EMI/RFI shielding, high-speed circuits, and RF hardware like waveguides and antennas
