Your Reputation
We understand the logistics of a precision machine shop can be extremely challanging. Especially when it involves sending your precision finished product to an outside source for plating. You need nothing but the highest quality work returned to you. Your customer demandsit and reputations are not the only thing on the line. We understand this. In fact, we incorporate this philosophy into our quality training.
You need it when?

When you have only one chance to get it right and you needed it done yesterday, send it to us today! Catchy huh? We thought so too. But, this describes exactly how we operate...T & T can provide you with same day service on most minimum charge orders. 1-2 day turnaround times, for just about everything, are the norm here. Free pick up and delivery service is also available in most areas, just call ahead to schedule.

Chromate Conversion

 

In the chromate conversion process, the metal surface of a part is converted to a superficial layer containing a complex mixture of chromium compounds. The chromate film is soft when freshly formed, but once dried and aged, the film becomes more abrasive resistant. Chromate conversion coatings provide excellent corrosion resistance. Paint, lacquer, and organic finishes bond exceedingly well to chromate conversion coatings. In addition, the chromate coatings prevent loss of paint adhesion due to under film corrosion.

Chromate conversion films vary in color depending on the chemical being used and the base metal being coated. Colors range from clear, to light iridescent, to gold. Greater corrosion protection is provided with formulations that give a golden color, as these coatings tend to be thicker. A varied appearance may be obtained when the base metal is non-uniform (i.e., welds in wrought materials and castings).
