Your Go-To Solution for Aluminum and Copper Bus Bars

Created at : Apr 5, 2023

When it comes to electrical power distribution and control systems, bus bars play a critical role in ensuring optimal performance. Bus bars are used to distribute and regulate the flow of electrical power in switchgear, transformers, and other equipment. Aluminum and copper bus bars are the most commonly used due to their high electrical conductivity and durability. To enhance the performance and longevity of these bus bars, B&B Electroplating offers top-quality aluminum and copper electroplating services.

Electroplating is a metal finishing process that involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a base metal. The process is used to improve the corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and aesthetic appearance of the base metal. Aluminum electroplating is widely used in industrial applications, including the electrical and electronics industry. Here are some of the industrial uses of aluminum electroplating:

  1. Electrical Equipment: Aluminum electroplating is used to coat bus bars, connectors, and other components in electrical equipment to enhance their electrical conductivity and prevent corrosion.
  2. Automotive Industry: Aluminum electroplating is used to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of automotive parts such as radiators, engine blocks, and wheels.
  3. Aerospace Industry: Aluminum electroplating is used to enhance the corrosion resistance and strength of components in the aerospace industry, including airplane parts and satellites.
  4. Construction Industry: Aluminum electroplating is used to coat steel components used in the construction industry to enhance their durability and corrosion resistance.

Copper bus bars are also commonly used in electrical power distribution and control systems. Copper is preferred for its high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. However, copper can oxidize over time, which can compromise its performance. To prevent this, B&B Electroplating offers top-quality copper electroplating services. Here are some of the industrial uses of copper electroplating:

  1. Electronics Industry: Copper electroplating is used to enhance the performance and reliability of electronic components such as printed circuit boards and connectors.
  2. Automotive Industry: Copper electroplating is used to enhance the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of automotive parts such as connectors and terminals.
  3. Plumbing Industry: Copper electroplating is used to coat brass components in the plumbing industry to enhance their corrosion resistance and improve their appearance.
  4. Jewelry Industry: Copper electroplating is used to enhance the appearance of jewelry and increase its durability.
