Surface engineering of metallic materials has a huge economic significance. Electrochemical finishing processes allow extending the life of components by applying a coating and thus protecting the component in question from the environment. A few other examples, in addition to the ones listed in the industry section, are:  

• electroplating and –polishing of steel wire;
• nickel and nickel-phosphor plating of mining equipment;
• zinc and zinc alloy plating of steel components;
• copper plating on printing cylinders;
• hard Cr plating of pump rotors;
• anodizing of lithographic sheet.

As raw materials become scarcer and as manufacturing processes are pushed to the boundaries of their limitations, Elsyca’s engineering expertise and modeling technology continues to assist industries in improving their electrochemical processes.
