Since one of the most important components of a car is the brake system, it is wise to do everything in your power to keep the brakes in pristine condition. Most modern cars have disc brakes, which use calipers that clamp down on the brake rotors to stop the wheels from turning. Porter-Guertin Co. of Cincinnati, OH, has built a reputation on its elite nickel plating service that provides a strong armor against corrosion.

Brake calipers are exposed to a wide variety of extreme environments; heat, cold, moisture, road salt, and ice can accelerate corrosion and leave your calipers rusty. In addition to looking bad, rusty calipers can fail as they oxidize and lose their strength. Nickel plating these calipers adds a protective layer that resists rust and extends the life of your braking system.

Porter-Guerin Co.'s electroless nickel plating service is designed specifically for corrosion resistance. These experts can apply a standard thickness of .0002" all the way up to .01" depending on your needs. The nickel plating not only repels road detritus like salt, but it also has the added bonus of creating an aesthetically pleasing look. As your vehicle ages, it becomes increasingly more important to fight off corrosion in any way possible.

In addition to nickel plating services, Porter Guertin Co. offers aluminum oxide grit blasting, polishing, and grinding services for a variety of metal treatment applications.
