M&R Plating Corporation offers high quality, quick turnaround metal plating for the government and commercial industries. These services are offered in a variety of plating materials including gold, silver, nickel, tin, and copper to name just a few. M&R’s state-of-the-art equipment can plate to substrates such as copper alloys, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and Inconel. Three applications are offered, barrel, vibrating, and rack plating. Pre-plate operations are highly efficient and feature ultrasonic cleaning, acid etch and pickling, followed with coatings in the post-plate operations. M&R prefers to process smaller parts with lengths and widths of up to 10”.

With over 35 years of experience M&R’s reject rate is extremely low supported by extensive on-site testing. M&R offers analytical, chemical, bath analysis, thickness, adhesion, solderability, ductibility, and dimensional testing among other options. At M&R precision is key, deposits will be calculated off surface area which is more precise and controlled than other methods. M&R complies with Mil-Spec, ASTM, AMS, and NADCAP industry standards and stands behind the quality of their product. For more information about their metal plating capabilities, see the table below, or contact M&R directly.
