Precious Metals

Overview

Precious metals are valued for their scarcity, its high economic value, and lustrous appearance. Common application of precious metals are its use in the minting of bullion coins, the manufacturing of the fine jewelry, with the most common elements being gold, silver, and platinum. The benefits using precious metal plating on components include increased aesthetic appeal, superior resistance against corrosion and wear, and are highly ductile and conductive. Though it’s more costly its costs are offset by the consistent superior quality over time.

DiFruscia Indsutries offer a wide variety of plating services for unique plating requirements. We will adapt our plating equipment to meet the specific needs of our customer allowing us to offer services that can deposit metals with high precision to reduce the amount of precious metal being used in the plating process and the cost to our customers.
