When Baron Cronstedt originally extracted nickel in 1751, he intended to produce copper. That’s why he called this newly discovered metal kupfernickel, a German word that roughly translates in English to “devil’s copper.” Even though nickel’s a very useful and popular metal, the name might almost appear ironic to some people in modern times. Though…

Vale S-Pellets are fully activated nickel anode material ideally suited for electroplating with anode baskets. The pellets are spherical in shape and are made by a special gas refining process that retains a small, closely controlled amount of sulfur in the nickel to maximize its electrochemical activity. The unique spherical shape of Vale S-Nickel Pellets ensures a degree of flowability unmatched by any other form of plating nickel, and this property makes it relatively easy to fill anode baskets of various sizes and shapes manually or with the aid of hoppers, funnels, channels, and tubes. |

Electroplated cadmium is a robust and versatile metallic coating. Cadmium is a soft white metal that, when plated onto steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal, functions as a “sacrificial coating,” corroding before the substrate material. The 5-20 Mesh size offers increased surface area for plating.

Understanding the Various Metals Used for Plating
Are you considering plating metals? The process of metal plating is performed to improve corrosion resistance, add aesthetic appeal, enhance the metal’s hardness, reduce friction in moving pieces, increase or decrease conductivity and to improve solderability. The most common plating metals include brass, bronze, cadmium, nickel and tin, and here at Belmont Metals, we sell…
A Brief Guide to Understanding the Electroplating Process
Electroplating refers to a process used to bind a layer of one metal over the surface of another one. Electroplating changes the properties of an item’s surface, providing protection, improving its appearance, or very often, both. Besides creating a protective coating for a metal item, manufacturers also might use electroplating to increase its thickness or…

What is electroplating?
Electroplating refers to a process that adds a surface layer of metal to another type of metal. It’s typically used to prevent corrosion and rust and to extend the useful life of the metal underneath the electroplated metal. Of course, it’s also used to make gold and silver plated jewelry and knickknacks and to give…
