Why Electroplating for Automotive Components?

Environmental factors such as tree sap, bird droppings, acid rain, road salt, and dust can erode vehicle finishes, leading to corrosion. Electroplating strengthens automotive parts like wheels, bumpers, engines, and frames, offering:

  • Enhanced corrosion resistance

  • Increased durability and longevity

  • Improved electrical conductivity

  • Enhanced aesthetic appeal

Our Automotive Electroplating Services

Titan Plating delivers high-quality electroplating for cars, trucks, and motorcycles, covering both metal and non-metal components like plastic bumpers, door panels, grilles, and wheel rims. We also specialise in plating electrical components to boost performance and corrosion resistance, including circuitry systems, wiring, connectors, and semiconductors.

Electrical Components We Plate

Modern vehicles rely on electronics for motor and battery management. Our electroplating enhances the conductivity and durability of key components, including:

  • Lead Frames: Connect semiconductors to circuitry, with electroplating improving wire bond adhesion and solderability.

  • Electrical Contacts and Connectors: Plated to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable electrical connections.

  • Wires and Cables: Electroplated to enhance conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.

  • Printed Circuit Boards: Protected against corrosion and oxidation, with improved solderability and longevity.

  • Semiconductors: Plated to boost conductivity, reduce friction, and enhance heat resistance, critical for hybrid and EV performance.

Custom Solutions for Electric Vehicles

EVs and hybrids have unique requirements. Titan Plating offers customised electroplating to:

  • Apply corrosion-resistant coatings to chassis parts, connectors, and terminals, protecting against moisture, salt, and chemicals.

  • Enhance electrical conductivity for battery terminals, busbars, and connectors, ensuring efficient power transmission.

  • Provide heat-dissipating coatings for cooling systems and heat sinks, managing operational temperatures effectively.

Gold Electroplating Benefits

Gold electroplating offers exceptional benefits for automotive components, particularly electrical parts like connectors and semiconductors, as well as exterior elements like wheel rims, door handles, and emblems. Key advantages include:

  • Corrosion and Wear Resistance: Gold’s inherent resistance to tarnish and rust extends component lifespan.

  • Solderability: Facilitates reliable soldering during assembly and repairs.

  • Chemical Stability: Resists chemical corrosion, ideal for parts exposed to harsh substances.

  • Heat Resistance: Maintains stability at high temperatures, suitable for demanding applications.

  • Electrical Conductivity: Enhances performance of electronic components.

For cost-effective alternatives, we offer palladium alloys, delivering similar benefits with tailored solutions to meet your budget.
