Metal Finishing & Plating

Metal finishing spans electroplating, thermal spray, cold spray and conductive coating processes, and each puts a different demand on the powder. Spray processes need gas-atomised spherical particles with controlled particle size distributions so the powder feeds smoothly through the gun and builds a dense, well-bonded deposit. Conductive and decorative coating formulations favour fine and flake grades that pack into continuous films. In every case, purity governs the corrosion resistance and conductivity of the finished surface.

Ronald Britton supplies copper, bronze, brass and tin powders with the particle size distribution data finishing engineers specify against, from sub-45 micron fine grades to spray ranges. Copper serves conductive and restorative coatings, bronze and brass give decorative and bearing surfaces, and tin supports solderable and low-friction finishes. Batch-level chemical analysis and ISO 9001 certified documentation come with every order, keeping plating baths and spray parameters stable across production runs.
