R A Chilton Ltd are a Specialist Copper Electroplating Company. Our expertise is in thick copper electroforming on to steel, and we specialise in producing solid copper rotors on steel shafts. We can also plate onto Carbon, Brass, Nickel, Copper, Titanium, and other substrates.

Our chemical process for cleaning, pickling and etching Titanium runs in a dedicated fume cabinet and is designed for safe handling and use of Hydrofluoric Acid and other hazardous chemicals required for titanium processing. Copper plating after cleaning prevents the oxide layer reforming and facilitates a good electrical contact.
