We offer a wide range of metal finishes.
Aluminium Anodising & Colour Anodising
Aluminium anodising, also referred to as anodic oxidation, is widely utilised to create protective and decorative coatings on aluminium surfaces. We provide Anodising colours, Aluminium anodising, Black anodised aluminium, White anodised aluminium, Custom colour anodising, Sulphuric acid anodising.
Bright Acid Tin Electroplating - Dorsetware is a reputable electroplating and metal finishing company with full accreditation. They offer a bright acid tin electroplating service for various products. Bright acid tin is a top choice for electronics, wiring, and conduit due to its exceptional conductivity and soldering properties. This plating also delivers a shiny, clean, and corrosion-resistant finish.
Bright Nickel Plating - Bright nickel electroplating is a widely utilised form of nickel plating that is favoured for both decorative and engineering purposes. This type of plating, from bathroom fixtures to fasteners, offers excellent corrosion resistance and can be applied rapidly.
Chrome Electroplating - Chrome electroplating creates a desired chrome finish for decorative use, corrosion resistance, smooth surfaces, and durability. This technique is commonly used to coat everyday household items and to refurbish chrome on vintage cars or motorcycles by replacing old chrome with new, polished chrome.
Cold Chemical Blacking - Cold chemical blacking offers numerous advantages by creating a coating that seamlessly integrates with the steel or aluminum surface, resulting in minimal dimensional alterations. To enhance corrosion protection, oil is applied. From tool pieces to automotive parts, the finish is resistant to chipping, flaking, rubbing, or peeling off. Additionally, the metal blackening process results in reduced light glare or reflection and enhanced lubrication properties.
Copper Electroplating & Coating - Copper electroplating stands out as a top choice among our electroplating services for metal finishes. The copper coating provides numerous advantages, including enhanced conductivity, malleability, and antibacterial properties.
De-embrittlement - De-embrittlement is crucial for eliminating hydrogen. Dorsetware provides various temperature and time options tailored to your de-embrittlement needs and the scale of your operation.
Gold Plating - Gold electroplating is commonly used in jewellery and various decorative applications. The reason behind this is that gold plating closely resembles gold but is more cost-effective and functional.
Hard Anodising & Coating - The hard-anodising process is a type of sulfuric anodising that is conducted at temperatures below freezing. This lower temperature enables a higher current density and voltage, essential for creating a thicker coating. Consequently, a hard-anodised finish provides exceptional hardness and offers remarkable resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
Iridite NCP Plating & Coating - The iridite NCP process creates a protective conversion coating on aluminum and its alloys. This plating and coating can function as a final finish or as a foundation for paints, high-performance topcoats, powder coats, lacquers, or rubber bonding.
Manganese Phosphate Coating - Manganese phosphate coating produces a dense crystalline surface on steel, ideal for various engineering uses.
Electroplating & Anodizing Masking - Dorsetware, along with its sister company Hi-Tek Products Limited, provide electroplating masking products and anodising metal masking services in Dorset. They utilise plugs, dots, caps, and lacquers for these processes.
Dull Nickel Plating & Nickel Sulphamate - Dull nickel plating is perfect for addressing dimensional corrections, abrasion, wear, and providing corrosion protection. It is commonly utilised as a base layer for chromium applications.
Passivation of Stainless Steel - The process of stainless steel passivation eliminates any residual free iron contamination on the surface of the stainless steel. We conduct this procedure following machining and fabrication to ensure quality.
Metal Polishing & Vacuum Blasting - Polishing metals, such as brass and aluminum, will yield a smoother and shinier finish compared to the original plating. Vacuum blasting is an excellent choice for abrasive blasting as it efficiently smooths the product without generating dust.
Silver Electroplating & Coating - Silver electroplating and coating are commonly used for electrical, electronic, or microwave applications, selected for both their functional properties and attractive decorative appeal.
Zinc Plating, Coating & Passivation - Zinc plating offers enhanced corrosion protection for metals, which is why mild steel, zinc nickel plating, and tin zinc plating are widely used.
