AST has Capacity for High Volume Electroless Nickel Plating on Magnesium Alloys
Scaling Up: How AST’s Tank Sizes Enable Industrial-Scale Production
When it comes to production plating, tank capacity is more than a convenience, it’s a competitive advantage. With tanks ranging from 50 to 1,000 gallons, AST can handle large parts, prototype plating, or bulk processing with outstanding efficiency.
Magnesium Line Tank Dimensions: Built for Production
Our magnesium line includes 200-gallon tanks with working dimensions of approximately 42” x 36” x 30”. These are perfect for high-volume, long-run orders like a recently completed military communications project.
Have Other Alloys that Need Bigger?
For other alloys like steel, stainless steel, and copper parts Advanced Surface Technology can deploy tanks up to 1,000 gallons to perform electroless and electrolytic nickel, and citric passivation while maintaining plating consistency.
Why Bigger is Better for Consistency and Cost
- Better Chemical Stability: Larger tanks maintain thermal and chemical stability longer
- Fewer Batches: Reduces handling and turnaround time
- Reliable Results: More uniform plating from part to part in high-volume runs
Precision Chemistry Monitoring on Every Load
Even with large volumes, our plating quality is uncompromising. Our lab tests chemistry daily, or even hourly, depending on load size, using titration and atomic absorption to maintain exact specifications.
Built for Your Next Big Project
Whether you’re plating 1 or 10,000 units, AST has the tank capacity, the chemical expertise, and the logistics in place to get it done right.
