We hear you. So let’s break it down—fast, simple, and in a way that actually makes sense. If you’re here for clarity without the jargon, you’re in the right place.
1. What Exactly Is Brush Plating?
Brush plating—yeah, sounds fancy. But all it really means is plating just where it’s needed without dunking the whole part in a tank.
Think of it like touch-up paint for metal parts—but way more powerful. No full-body immersion, no dismantling. It’s:
- Portable
- Targeted
- Space-saving
- Time-saving
- And super efficient
2. How Does This Work, Exactly?
It’s not a quick dab-and-go thing. Here’s how it’s really done:
- Surface Prep: Clean it up like your job depends on it. No grease, no dirt. If it’s not spotless, plating won’t stick.
- Masking: Protect everything that doesn’t need plating. Neatness matters.
- Plating: A brush soaked in plating solution, connected to power, is moved over the surface. Voltage and technique make all the difference.
Finishing: Polish it. Because rough and patchy isn’t the look we’re going for.
3. What Can You Plate with Brush Plating?
At Sargam, we brush plate all kinds of materials that need durability, conductivity, or corrosion resistance:
Silver – Shiny and conductive
Nickel (Undercoat) – Strong, tough, and corrosion-resistant
Copper (Undercoat) – Excellent for conductivity
If it needs to perform or last—brush plating’s got it covered.
4. Why Choose Brush Plating Over Tank Plating?
Tank plating is great for full parts. But let’s be real—when you’ve got a massive component with 10 small repair spots, you don’t want to tear the whole thing down for a tank session.
Brush plating lets you:
- Plate without disassembly
- Repair specific spots quickly
- Avoid transport and downtime
- Generate less waste, use fewer resources
It’s cleaner, quicker, and way more practical for huge and heavy parts.
5. Where Does Brush Plating Really Shine?
Sargam handles high-impact jobs across industries like:
Switchgear – Quick, targeted repairs
Aerospace – Fix landing gear and turbine blades without grounding aircraft
Marine – Repair shafts and surfaces without hauling the whole ship
Manufacturing – Correct machining errors before they cost more
Electronics – Add or fix conductivity with extreme precision
It’s all about saving time without compromising quality.
6. Any Downsides?
Of course, nothing’s perfect. Brush plating:
- Isn’t for bulk or large-area jobs
- Doesn’t give super-thick coatings
- Needs trained hands—it’s not beginner-friendly
But for high-value parts, urgent fixes, and surgical precision? It’s a clear winner.
