Electro Processing:

Electropolishing

Electropolishing:

  • to meet our customer's spec we manage fabrication from specification, source & validation of raw material through to inspection & packaging of the final item
  • parts leave Microfab with Ra <1 µm & finished diameter 1.597 mm +/- 2 µm over up to 110mm length
Electroetching

Electroetching:

  • an unusual solution for an unusual problem!
  • the application required electroetching of controlled apertures through a Vanadium film deposited on an Aluminium substrate, without damage to the Aluminium
  • single aperture = 8 µmx14 µm
  • array pitch = 40 µm
Electroplating

Electroplating:

  • “difficult” substrates
  • pilot & small scale production
  • image left: 500 VPN hardness gold has been applied to a precision turned stainless component to impart high electrical surface conductivity & resistance to abrasion
  • we routinely electroplate & electropolish 150 µm tungsten wires
