PREPARATION AND FINISHING
urface preparation is handled as the first stage of every job. This includes cleaning, conditioning, and preparation steps that directly support coating adhesion and final performance. Metal surface preparation is applied based on material type and final coating requirements. Parts move through controlled cleaning and preparation steps before any plating or coating begins.

NICKEL SERVICES
Nickel-based coatings are applied through controlled chemical deposition methods. Electroless nickel plating services are used for components requiring uniform coating thickness and consistent coverage across complex shapes. Electroless nickel plating services support corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and dimensional stability for precision parts.

Gold Electroplating
Our 24k Gold electroplating is used for components requiring conductivity and wear performance. The process applies a controlled gold alloy layer suitable for electrical contacts, connectors, and precision assemblies where stable performance is required under repeated use.
LEARN MORE
BLACK OXIDE
Black oxide finishing is applied to steel and copper components as a conversion coating process. Black oxide coating services provide a dark surface finish that supports mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection. Black oxide coating services are commonly applied where appearance and functional surface control are required without adding significant thickness.

Teflon Coating
Teflon coatings are applied for low-friction and non-stick performance. These coatings are used on components where reduced surface interaction and chemical resistance are required.
Learn MorePreparation and Engineering Control
Every part processed at Fowler Industrial Plating moves through controlled preparation and finishing stages. Work is handled with defined process steps, supported by in-house testing and inspection.
Operations include:
- Incoming material review
- Metal surface preparation
- Coating application based on specification
- Inspection and testing before release
Process control is maintained at each stage to support consistent results across repeat production.
GOT A QUESTION?
WE’VE GOT ANSWERS
-
What is Electroless Nickel Plating? […]- Electroless Nickel Plating (EN) is a type of coating that imparts a glossy, evenly deposited, tightly-bonded layer of nickel onto a machined, metal component.
