Heavy Build Copper Plating of Bullets
Heavy Build Copper Plating – Copper Chemistries Artistic offers a wide range of high-speed copper plating chemistries that are tailored to the specific function of the projectile. The deposit hardness can be adjusted based upon the For frangible applications Artistic offers a specialized “ductile-less” copper deposit ensuring the best possible disintegration of the heavy build copper plating upon impact. Artistic has successfully plated “green” powdered metal and sintered frangible cores of various configurations for both training and tactical applications. Heavy build copper plating of bullets for armor piercing applications are also available. Plating on hardened steel cores or tungsten alloys are possible to provide a near perfectly concentric heavy build copper plated jacket. Due to the strong metallurgical bond between the heavy build copper plating and the bullet core – plated bullets have the distinct advantage of a fused design which greatly aids in terminal performance and projectile weight retention. Heavy Build Copper Plating – Plate-to-Gauge verses Plate-to-Weight
For heavy build copper plating of rigid substrates such as frangible cores Artistic Plating can provide plate-to-gauge inspection of the rounds. Critical pre and post-plate dimensions as well as specific inspection methods are documented in processing protocols. All plate-to-gauge rounds go through a customized receiving inspection for dimensional verification prior to release to the plating line. Multiple measurements of a statistically relevant sample set are made during the plating process to ensure each lot of parts meets the final plate-to dimensions. Heavy Build Copper Plating – Copper Aesthetics Artistic Plating employs specialized high-speed copper chemistries that completely eliminate the potential for brown spotting of the copper deposit due to their To further enhance the appearance of heavy build copper plating of lead bullets, a post-plate inhibit can be applied to the plated copper metal post-plate. A 24-hour high humidity test can be passed with this exceptional system ensuring that the copper maintains its bright as-plated appearance during storage to final point-of-purchase. This monatomic layer is invisible and does not affect the size or function of the heavy build copper plating of lead or frangible bullets. Heavy Build Copper Plating – Alternate Applications
