Gold plating on difficult substrates
An example of the engineering components that require precision optical gold coatings
The story of Epner Technologies is a fascinating one. Founded in 1910 it is now one of the world’s leading hi-tech gold plating companies. The company specialises and supplies the US standards body NIST with the standard infrared reflective material.
The company has just announced a new process for achieving blister-free gold plating on some of the more unusual or difficult metals to plate like Titanium, Molybdenum, Tungsten, Magnesium. This allows them to withstand high brazing or soldering temperatures, for applications including coatings for optical and reflective uses in military, defense, aerospace, and medical projects.
