It's hard to imagine going through an entire day without seeing, using or coming into contact with an object that is made of aluminum. This soft, lightweight, durable metal can be found in everything from aircraft and vehicle parts and components to food and beverage containers, foil wrap, windows and doors, lighting poles and much more.

With more than 25 years of metal finishing experience, you can count on LEPL to provide superior aluminum electroplating services that will exceed your quality and performance expectations and meet your budget requirements. We also have the expertise to help you select the best aluminum alloy plating process for your manufacturing projects.

In many manufacturing applications, it is helpful — and in some instances, necessary — to apply an additional coating onto an aluminum part for purposes such as increasing corrosion protection, providing greater wear resistance or enhancing the appearance of a product. Electroplating is a common metal finishing technique that can achieve each of these objectives. This process involves immersing the aluminum workpiece into an electrolytic solution and introducing an electric current to deposit dissolved ions of another metal onto the surface.
An alternative to the aluminum electroplating process is electroless plating, which does not require electricity to deposit the metal ions. Instead, deposition occurs via an autocatalytic reaction.
