Applications

Selective plating is used in many places, varying from industrial applications up to decoration purposes. Here some samples.

1.    Oil and gas industry, copper and zinc plating of boxthreads.

2.    Graphic industry, repairs of chromium cylinders of a printing press.

3.    Metal industry, repairs of process failures.

4.    Hydraulics, repair of damaged cylinders.

5.    Shipping, repair of worn shafts or bearings. In this case it is important that the process is approved by almost all classification societies, as there are Lloyd's, ABS, Rina and DNV.
