Copper (Cu)
Copper is an excellent thermal and electrical conductor. It is corrosion resistant, ductile, and antibacterial. It also alloys easily with other metals, often resulting in a stronger and more industrial material. Copper has a rich gold-amber color and can be applied as a shiny or matte finish.
Copper is essential in many plating operations as a general strike and is used for improved adhesion, activation of passive substrates, or as an insurance step in the cleaning cycle. Copper is most often seen in the electrical industry, but is common in medical and aerospace as well.
Prodigy Surface Tech plates high purity copper which exceeds the minimum purity requirements of most specifications. We can do a bright, hard finish or a matte finish. Our current bath composition and size focuses on small parts for aerospace applications.
