Electroplating Applications

At Saras Process, we provide our exclusive Metal on Metal electroplating service to a wide range of industries across the UK and internationally. Our portable electroplating system is designed to deliver fast, accurate, and cost-effective metal finishing for critical components used in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defence, oil and gas, and printing.

What is the Metal on Metal Process?

The Saras Metal on Metal process is a highly controlled form of selective metal plating. Unlike traditional bath plating, our process applies metals or alloys only to the precise area that requires treatment. This is done without submerging the entire component, making it ideal for on-site repairs and restorations.

The process is fully portable, allowing work to be carried out on location—whether in the UK or overseas—without removing the part from service. This reduces downtime, avoids costly transport or machine resets, and delivers plating to exact specifications.

How Does It Differ from Traditional Electroplating?

Our process is different from conventional chrome plating, nickel plating, or zinc plating done in tanks. Key benefits of the Metal on Metal system include:

• Precise, metallurgically sound deposits using ampere-minute process control
• Compatible with over 20 metal and precious metal electrolytes, plus 10 alloy solutions
• No toxic fumes, no noxious gases, and safe when used correctly
• Cold application means no heat, no risk of distortion, and no embrittlement
• No edge build-up and minimal masking required
• No need for pre- or post-machining
• No re-setting of machines during repair
• Protects the integrity of machined components
• Restores worn parts to original engineering tolerances

This makes our method ideal for precision engineering, printing cylinder repair, and many other metal finishing applications where speed, accuracy, and strength are critical.

Compatible Materials:

The Saras process can be used to build or restore metal surfaces on nearly all industrial base materials, including:

• Cast iron and steel
• Stainless steel
• Hardened steels
• Steel forgings
• Refractory metals
• Electroless nickel
• Existing chrome plating

Whether you're repairing worn areas, correcting surface damage, or extending component life, Saras provides a proven, high-performance solution with the flexibility to work on-site or in-house.
