5 TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT ELECTROPLATING COMPANY

Electroplating has become an important engineering process for most component manufacturing. Electroplating ensures that components have better properties and durability as compared to non-electro-plated products. The electroplating process involves coating a layer of metal on top of another metal through an electric process. Whenever we electroplate a component, we improve its properties, like better conductivity and resistance to wear and tear in extremely high temperatures.

Khambati Industries is one of the leading and oldest electroplating companies in Dubai, UAE. We have rich experience in manufacturing electro-plated components. The major applications of electroplated components are in the mechanical and automobile industries. For over ten years, Khambati Group has been one of the largest suppliers of components that were manufactured with the electroplating process.

Before we study five tips for choosing the right electroplating company, let us first study what electroplating is.

What is electroplating?

As we said earlier, electroplating is the process of applying a layer of metal over another surface of the metal by external application of electric current. This process happens often when the metal components are submerged in a certain chemical liquid solution. What chemical is used for submerging the components that often results in the quality of end products? The part or component that is to be plated is also called a substrate, and it is submerged in an electroplating solution, also called the bath.

The plating material is connected to the positive end, and the metal on which plating is to be done is connected to the negative end. Then an electric current is passed through the electroplating bath. The ions from the positive terminal get deposited into the negative terminal. As the ions in this process get deposited, the electroplating process is also called electrodeposition.

Khambati Industries is one of the largest metal industries in the UAE; we have a state-of-the-art electroplating facility. Our electroplating facility is capable of handling massive and large orders at any given time. Many metals can be electroplated and their properties improved for performance. You can find electroplated components in a few steel industries in Dubai.

Let us now see some tips for choosing the right electroplating company

Evaluate the Company’s Manufacturing Capability.

The most important thing to be considered before choosing an electroplating company is whether the company will be able to handle the electroplating of large-sized components. Most components that require electroplating in Dubai, UAE can be of varied sizes. You need to analyze whether you want to electroplate several small components or one component of a very large size and then ask the electroplating company you choose about its facilities. If you want to electroplate huge components, then Khambati Industries is one of the leading steel trading companies in Dubai that can handle large orders easily.

Check Whether the Electroplating Company Has the Right Manufacturing Facility

There are many types of electroplating processes. Depending upon the size, quantity, and final finishing, you won't choose a company that has the exact right electroplating facility that you are looking for. Khambati Industries is a seasoned and pioneering metal trading company in the UAE. We have all the modern facilities to facilitate all types of electroplating in our manufacturing units. Be it barrel plating, rack plating, or electroless plating, we can carry out all these processes with ease and the best type of finish.

Whether the staff is experienced

Electroplating is a process that requires skilled and experienced workers. If a little mistake happens here and there, not only will the plating not happen properly, but your entire component may be at risk. It is best to choose an experienced manufacturing company that has produced consistent and satisfactory results over the years. If you reside in the UAE, then the best option for you would be Khambati Industries. Khambati Industries was established in the 1970s in India. We were the leading trading company of metals in Asia back then. In around the year 2008, we expanded our business in the UAE region. You can be certain that your components are in safe hands when you deal with us. Having over 5 decades of experience, we pride ourselves on having rich expertise in the metal industry and electroplating industry both.

Check Creditability and Reputation

Whenever we select a partner for us, we always check the creditability and reputation of the firm with which we want to deal. Similarly, in the case of choosing an electroplating company, it is always better to do some background checks and verify the creditability of your electroplating manufacturer. If you enquire with any of the leading metal companies in the UAE, they can refer you to their preferred electroplating manufacturers. You can check on online platforms to verify the creditability of a company you may choose.

Personally verify the work sample

All said and done, it can go in vain if you do not personally see the work samples of the electroplating manufacturing company that you wish to select. It isn’t always necessary that the company may want to cheat you. Different companies work with different norms and criteria. When you personally see a sample, you can assess whether the company manufactures and does electroplating with the criteria that satisfy you. If they don’t manufacture with your criteria, you can ask them whether they are willing to be flexible and do it as per your norms. Most manufacturers that are among the leading steel companies in the UAE are willing to be flexible and do electroplating as per the client’s norms and criteria. Whatever you choose, it is always the best idea to get it written down on paper.
