Thin film coatings are used to augment the properties of the
electroformed
components base material in some way. The ability of Platinum to
stand up
to concentrated Hydrochloric Acid, even anodically, to protect a
nickel or
copper electroform is one example. The application of vacuum
deposited
Aluminum to enhance the reflectivity of a mirrored surface is
another.
American Galvano has the capabilities to provide you with both
electrodeposited and vacuum deposited thin film coatings.
Additionally we
have developed our own optical quality coating designed to limit
background noise for those components used in electronic imaging
or
digital information.
