Surface Treatments
Surface Treatments
Upon request, Brema performs surface treatments such as galvanic processes, which use electrochemical methods to apply a protective metal layer, and heat treatments, which alternate intense heating and cooling cycles to strengthen the metal’s structure for greater durability.
Two Treatments, One Goal: Exceptional Performance
Galvanizing, or plating, is an electrochemical process where parts are immersed in a solution containing a metal anode. A continuous electric current transfers metal ions onto the component, forming a thin yet highly durable coating—such as nickel, titanium, copper, chrome, cadmium, zinc, or iron. Heat treatment follows a different method but shares the same purpose: reinforcing the part’s internal structure. The component is heated to high temperatures and rapidly cooled, a thermal shock that alters the metal’s makeup, improving resistance to stress, deformation, and breakage.
