Ultrasonic Finish: CSL’s ultrasonic finish process combines specially formulated chemicals and a precisely designed ultrasonic tank unit. A proprietary CSL process, ultrasonic finish generates a grain structure to improve the out-gassing and sealing properties of a surface. | ||
|
Multifunctional Plating: Different areas of a single part may have different plating requirements (such as electrical conductivity and resistance/insulation). CSL is able to successfully plate those seemingly conflicting requirements with custom masking and staff expertise. | ||
|
Plugging: CSL is able to meet the most exacting customer requirements for products where the interior of small openings must be plugged to avoid the introduction of plating material. | ||
|
Post Bake: In the post bake process, plated materials are baked to improve stress and adhesion. | ||
|
Strip Plating: When plating needs to be removed for any reason, CSL can strip the plating without affecting the underlying metal. | ||
|
Masking: Masking is required when plating is needed in some sections of an item but not others. CSL can perform masking using liquid or film material. | ||
|
Bead Blasting: Available as either a dry process or wet process, bead blasting generates a matte, dull surface finish to improve the adhesion of the plated layer. | ||
 |
The dry process automatic bead blast unit is capable of programming X, Y, and Z axes for consistent and uniform surface finish. In addition, several manual units are available for prototypes and flexibility. A variety of abrasives, both in terms of material and grit sizes, are used as necessary for the finish required by the customer. | ||
|
The wet hone process is less aggressive than the dry process, using water to impart a smoother matte finish. | ||
