Plating on Aluminum

Crown plates aluminum parts at our large, modern facility in Brooklyn (Cleveland), Ohio, alongside the rest of our ferrous and non-ferrous work. Aluminum is called out on our quote form because it is a regular request, not a side case. Suitability still depends on the part, the alloy and the finish you need. Send a drawing or sample and we will confirm the process at setup.

We respond to quote requests within 48 hours.

Finishes we can discuss for aluminum

Depending on the part, aluminum may be a candidate for:

Tell us the finish on your print, or the look you need if there is no print. We will not guess a process that the part cannot support.

Why aluminum needs a conversation at quote

Aluminum does not plate the same way steel does. The right prep depends on the alloy, the incoming surface, and the finish. That is why we ask for the base material, a drawing or photo, and any adhesion or thickness requirement before we quote. Polishing and buffing, when the part needs them, are done in-house before plating — the same shop, not a second vendor.

Specs and part sizes

Built to your print: Crown conforms to the specifications you supply. Most often that is an adhesion requirement, and sometimes coating thickness. We confirm those requirements with you at setup.

Maximum plating part size: 54″ x 7′ (54 inches by 7 feet). No maximum part weight.

FAQ

Can you chrome plate aluminum? Yes, when the part is a fit. Decorative chrome on aluminum is something we quote from a drawing or sample. See decorative chrome plating.

Do you also plate steel and other metals? Yes. Crown plates ferrous and non-ferrous parts. Aluminum is one of the materials we take; it is not the only one.

What do you need to quote aluminum parts? The alloy if you know it, a drawing or photo, the finish, quantity, and overall size. A short checklist is on How to Request a Plating Quote.
