Electroplating services
Zinc plating, trivalent passivation and surface preparation
Corrosion protection and finish consistency for high-volume fasteners, brackets, stampings and machined components. Every service below is available individually or as a complete degrease, plate, passivate and pack sequence.
Zinc Yellow Plating
Zinc plating with yellow passivation for enhanced corrosion resistance and the characteristic iridescent gold-yellow finish.
View process details
Trivalent Blue Plating
Hexavalent-chromium-free trivalent (Cr3+) passivation over zinc, suited to RoHS and ELV-driven automotive supply chains.
View process details
Trivalent Yellow Plating
Trivalent (Cr3+) yellow passivation over zinc for a hexavalent-free finish with high corrosion resistance and a yellow-iridescent look.
View process details
Trivalent Blue + Lacquer
Trivalent blue passivation sealed with a clear lacquer top coat for extended salt spray performance and a durable, glossy finish.
View process details
Acid Wash & Degreasing
Removal of oil, grease, scale and rust so components arrive at plating, painting or assembly with a clean, uniform surface.
View process details
Degreasing & Drying
Degreasing followed by controlled drying, delivering oil-free components ready for assembly, inspection or further processing.
View process detailsProcess
From inward challan to plated dispatch
Every lot is registered against your delivery challan and tracked through each stage, so you always know where your components are and what was done to them.
-
01
Inward DC & batch registration
Parts are received against your reference DC number, counted or weighed, and logged with product, quantity and required process.
-
02
Degreasing & acid wash
Oils, drawing compounds, scale and rust are removed so the zinc deposit bonds uniformly to clean, active steel.
-
03
Zinc electroplating
Components are plated in barrel or rack lines depending on geometry, thread sensitivity and volume, to the thickness on your drawing.
-
04
Passivation & lacquer
Blue or yellow passivation, hexavalent or trivalent (Cr3+), is applied with optional lacquer sealing, then dried.
-
05
Inspection
Appearance, coverage and colour uniformity are checked before the batch is cleared for packing.
-
06
Packing & outward DC
Industrial packing sized to the parts, dispatched with an outward challan referencing your original DC.
Quality assurance
Built for OEM and Tier supply chains
Consistency keeps automotive and industrial lines moving. Our quality practices are designed around repeatable finish, traceability and safe delivery.
-
Traceability by challan
Each lot is linked to your reference DC number from inward to outward, with process and quantity recorded.
-
Trivalent (Cr3+) options
Hexavalent-chromium-free passivation for customers with RoHS, ELV or export compliance requirements.
-
Pre-dispatch inspection
Visual checks for coverage, colour uniformity, blistering and burn marks before parts are packed.
-
Specification-led plating
Thickness and finish set to your drawing or standard, with trial lots available for validation.

Zinc Blue vs Zinc Yellow Plating: Which Should You Specify?
Both finishes start with the same electroplated zinc layer. The passivation on top decides colour, corrosion life and cost. Here is how to choose for automotive and engineering components.

Common questions about our electroplating services
Cannot find what you need? Ask us directly and we will respond with specifics for your component.
Which electroplating services does KVEE METALS offer?
We offer zinc blue plating, zinc yellow plating, trivalent blue and trivalent yellow (Cr3+) passivation, trivalent blue with lacquer top coat, plus acid wash, degreasing and drying as surface preparation or standalone services. All processes run at our plant in Satpur MIDC, Nashik.
Do you serve customers outside Nashik?
Yes. While our plant is in Satpur MIDC, Nashik and most customers are in the Nashik, Ambad and Sinnar industrial areas, we regularly process components for manufacturers across Maharashtra and other states. Transport can be arranged either way.
What is the difference between trivalent and hexavalent passivation?
Both seal the zinc layer after plating. Hexavalent chromate is the traditional option; trivalent (Cr3+) passivation contains no hexavalent chromium and therefore meets RoHS and ELV restrictions, while delivering comparable corrosion protection. We offer both, in blue and yellow variants.
How is pricing calculated?
Depending on the component we quote per kilogram or per piece. Pricing depends on the process, plating thickness, part geometry and monthly volume. Send us a drawing or sample with expected quantities and we will share a quotation.
How do you track my components?
Every lot is registered against your delivery challan number when it arrives. The batch is tracked through degreasing, plating, passivation, inspection and packing, and dispatched with an outward challan that references your original DC.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
There is no fixed minimum. Small and trial lots are welcome, and we regularly run urgent lots alongside production batches. Larger monthly volumes benefit from better per-unit pricing.
