Galvano.pl chrome copper nickel plating & renovation since 1960

All what you schould know about renoavation process :
As the result of an electro chemical reaction the metal constituting the supporting ground melts underneath the coating and the object which is covered is subject to damage. In order to repair the damaged element what required is the ex*****on of the proper renovation or regeneration process. Before the ex*****on of the above what needs to be a

ssessed is the degree of element damage and corrosion. During the ex*****on of the aforementioned activities we employ the following methods:
1. The sanding process, which is applied in order to remove any cases of large unevenness as well as in order to remove any scales as well as rust. Sanding of visible parts constitutes a significant technological error, that is why we clean the elements visible only from the inside, which are not visible from the outside, such as internal bumper parts.
2. The exact cleaning of the details from any dirt which is for instance paint based.
3. Chemical and electrolyte grease removal from various details.
4. The removal of old chrome as well as nickel coatings (each elements which is subject to the application of a chrome coating is also subject to nickel coating), the potential removal of the old copper coating. Only after the ex*****on of the aforementioned processes the technical status of the elements subject to be processed may be assessed and a decision with regard to the best repair technology may be made. If the given element is subject to mechanical damage it has to undergo metal type of processing. If the suffered damages are serious (for instance: holes) they are filled with various metal inserts. Lack of professional repair may lead to the total damage of the given element or it may cause for the few times fold increase of the repair costs, i.e. grinding sample of the given detail covered with an old coating shall lead to severe damages as well as the necessity for input of unnecessary labour. Galvanic coating is very hard and it is practically impossible for its removal without the application of chemical compounds. Grinding is executed with the application of a vibration shield which contains the large amount of small grinding bits which are characterised by simultaneous activity. Grinding shield bits act as stand alone cutting devices, similar to the teeth of a grinding machine unit. Thanks to the ex*****on of the grinding process, surfaces of small degree of roughness are obtained, at the same time suffering the very small degree of loss of the processed material. The grinding process is executed within a few phases (from 2 to 8 attempts) each time changing the granulation of the grinding material. Solid grinding constitutes the basis of the properly executed renovation process. Errors within the art of grinding may be spotted with a naked eye. Ex*****on of polishing, nickling or chroming processes will not repair the aforementioned drawback. The process of polishing constitutes a further phase. It is connected to the processing of metal, aimed at the removal of any cases of unevenness from the surface which is subject to processing as well as to ensuring a shiny and mirror like looks. The polishing of surfaces is applied for both the preparation of the supporting ground metal surface prior the ex*****on of the process of application of copper, nickel and galvanic chrome coatings and is applied as the finishing of the surface upon its covering. WITH THE APPLICATION OF THE PROPER POLISHING PROCESS NO VISIBLE LOSS OF MATERIAL MAY BE ENCOUNTERED, WHAT MAY OCCUR IS ONLY ITS LEVELLING. For more than 50 years now the process of running and management of the grinding and polishing shop has not been altered. Solid repairs, grinding as well as polishing processes constitute the solid basis for the obtainment of mirror like coating. Latest technologies applied by us in the process of the introduction of chrome, copper as well as nickel coatings shall not correct the repair and grinding errors (varnishing of various elements covers any cases of unevenness, whereas the process of chroming highlights such spots). The process of the introduction of copper, nickel as well as chrome coatings consists of 40 operations. The most important include:
1.Initial degreasing process.
2. Electrolyte type of degreasing.
3. Initial application of a nickel or copper coating upon the supporting ground.
5. Acid type of coppering – if an element upon the ex*****on of such process is within an ideal state it may be subject to the application of nickel coating process, nevertheless the practice shows that in order for the given detail to be ideal, the galvanic process needs to be interrupted so that to return to the polishing process and its polishing in order for the given element to obtain ideal surface. All of the micro spots and holes are visible upon the ex*****on of the coppering process. All of the parts which are subject to considerable damaging may be coated numerously until the mirror like effect is obtained. The copper coating is applied mainly as the sub coat applied prior the process of introduction of nickel as well as in the process of the introduction of multi-layer coatings – copper, nickel and chrome.
6. Shiny or reflective type of nickel process is a process which has been aimed at the anti-corrosion and underlining of the shining characteristics of the given element. The advantage of the restored coating is vast anti-corrosion resistance as well as advantageous mechanical properties.
7. Decorative type of chroming constitutes the last process (different to the process of technical chroming, which is connected to the application of a thick galvanic coating of up to the thickness of 200 microns). DECORATIVE TYPE OF CHROMING IS CONSTITUTED BY THE COATING OF THE THICKNESS RANGING FROM 0.5 TO 1 MICRONE. THICKER CHROME COATINGS ARE MILK-WHITE AND NOT VERY AESTHETIC. APPEARING OF SUCH COATING UPON A NICKEL COATED ELEMENT MEANS THAT THE GALVANIZER IS UNABLE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT VOLTAGE SUITING THE SIZE OF THE GIVEN ELEMENT. In order to properly chrome large elements (i.e. a bumper) the following type of electricity current is required 6000A. We possess a proper rectifier necessary for the creation of power with the nominal power connection of 300kW (the power possessed by ten storey buildings). The proper choice of decorative and protection coating i.e. copper, nickel and chrome guarantees the longevity of the restored elements along with their perfect looks. We offer complete renovation of damaged and corroded steel and copper elements. We renovate various parts and accept already completed parts for the application of chrome, copper and nickel coatings. We possess 50 year experience in chroming that is why the quality of our products as well as our clients’ satisfaction constitutes the most important factor to us.
