Metal Plating Etched Parts

Tecomet Inc. works with outside vendors to metal plating etched parts for chemically etched parts. Plating gives etched components properties that are not found in the base material. For example, gold plating is commonly used to make components more electrically conductive, while tin-lead plating is used to make components solderable. Tecomet Inc. offers etched components plating for nearly any part produced through chemical machining.
