Diamond Chrome Plating, Inc. - Facility Overview Page 1 of 2

Our production capabilities for each type of plating process are as follows:

Chrome: 13 tanks with depths to 10 feet and lengths to 34 ft. These are powered by

Rectifiers in sizes from 100 to 12,000 amperes. Our hoist capacities vary from ½ - 5 tons.

Vacuum Cadmium: Our vacuum chamber can handle pieces up to approximately 5 feet long and

2 feet wide. These limits may vary with part geometry.

Low Hydrogen Embrittlement Cadmium: (1) tank 4 feet long and 5 1/2 feet deep powered by a 1 to 500 ampere rectifier. The hoist capacity is 1 ton.

Titanium Cadmium: (1) tank 8 feet long and 5 feet deep powered by a 1 to 500 ampere rectifier. The hoist capacity is 1 ton.

Electroless Nickel: We are set up to process parts generally under 4 feet long or 36" inches in

diameter.

Sulfamate Nickel: (1) tank 5 feet long and 4 feet deep powered by a 1 to 500 ampere rectifier. The hoist capacity is 1 ton.

Zinc Nickel: (1) tank 2 ½ feet square and 3 feet deep powered by a 1 to 500 ampere rectifier. The hoist capacity is 1 ton.

Please note that certain parts may be suspended and/or flipped 180^o to accommodate longer parts

in certain tanks.

We also have 6 ovens available for Stress Relief and Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief.

(2) Ovens @ 36”H x 36”W x 24”D Temperature range from 225 ^o-850^o .

(2) Ovens @ 70”H x 53”W x 72”D Temperature range from 225 ^o-575^o .

(1) Oven @ 60”H x 36”W x 72”D Temperature range from 225 ^o-575^o .

(1) Oven @ 70”H x 53”W x 90”D Temperature range from 200 ^o-400^o .

Support Operations: We do abrasive and glass bead blasting, polishing, welding, cleaning and vapor degreasing as required to prepare parts for plating. Our tool room fabricates 99% of all the equipment we need to do a given job, so our delivery schedules can be maintained. Our transport fleet includes a 30 foot tractor trailer and a pick up truck.

Inspection Equipment consists of various types of precision measuring devices such as micrometers, calipers, bore gages, air gages and electronic measuring instruments for checking plate thickness. We will also use Customer Supplied Gages, provided they show proof of calibration.
