Base material processing with exacting control and physical property performance.
Base material processing for plating requirements is an important service advantage now offered with our acquisition of Torpedo Specialty Wire. Summit Plating’s traditional “toll” plating capability is expanded considerably with new capabilities in preparing base material for plating and allows us improved economies and process control with final specifications. Reserved for our electroplating customers only, the rod breakdown, wire drawing, and annealing processes deliver reliable base-product supply, top quality and cost-savings.
Wire Drawing of base material for our plating customers.
Summit Plating’s new wire drawing capabilities increase its presence as a leading plated wire manufacturer. A traditional “toll” plating service provider, Summit’s acquisition of Torpedo’s base material processing equipment and know-how establish Summit as a complete source for plated wire. Summit has expanded its wire drawing capabilities in Cu and Cu alloys, Steel and Steel alloys, and with a wide range of diameters, ranging from .312” to .003”.
Wire Annealing of base material for our plating customers
Summit Plating’s new capabilities annealing round wire further expands its footprint as a world class plated wire manufacturer. The annealing process provides the ability to control exacting physical property specifications, such as tensile, elongation, yield strength, etc. for demanding technical standards.
