Manufacturing Processes and Advanced Production Machinery
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility employs sophisticated metalworking equipment and precision machining technologies to produce terminal bars meeting stringent dimensional tolerances and electrical performance specifications. The manufacturing process begins with raw material verification using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers for composition analysis and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) for trace element detection, ensuring compliance with specified Brass, Bronze, and Copper alloy grades. Brass ingots and Bronze billets are subjected to hot extrusion processes using 500-ton to 2000-ton horizontal extrusion presses operating at temperatures between 650°C and 750°C, forcing heated metal through precision-hardened steel dies to create continuous bar profiles with consistent cross-sectional geometries. Alternative production methods include hot forging operations utilizing drop hammers or hydraulic forging presses for complex terminal bar shapes, followed by hot rolling on multi-stand rolling mills to achieve desired thickness reductions and material work hardening characteristics.
Precision machining operations form the cornerstone of terminal bar production quality, employing Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machining centers equipped with multiple-axis capabilities for simultaneous drilling, tapping, and milling operations. Our CNC equipment inventory includes vertical machining centers with 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis configurations, horizontal machining centers for high-volume production runs, and specialized gang drilling machines featuring 8 to 16 synchronized spindles for parallel hole creation ensuring perfect hole alignment across terminal bar lengths. Threading operations utilize rigid tapping attachments with synchronous spindle-feed coordination, achieving thread tolerances conforming to ISO 965 6H tolerance class for internal threads and minimizing tap breakage in work-hardened Brass materials. Surface finishing processes include CNC-controlled milling of mounting surfaces achieving flatness tolerances within 0.03mm per 100mm length, deburring operations using rotary wire brushes or abrasive nylon filament brushes removing sharp edges and metal burrs, and vibratory finishing in ceramic media for uniform surface smoothness and edge radiusing.
Electroplating and surface treatment operations employ rack plating or barrel plating processes depending on component geometry and production volumes. Tin electroplating utilizes alkaline or acid tin plating baths maintaining controlled current densities between 1-4 A/dm² and deposition rates producing uniform coating thickness of 5-10 microns (approximately 0.2-0.4 mils), with post-plating hot oil reflow treatment creating bright, solderable surfaces. Nickel electroplating employs Watts-type nickel plating solutions or sulfamate nickel baths for thick, ductile deposits, operating at current densities of 2-8 A/dm² and achieving coating thickness of 8-15 microns with excellent corrosion resistance. Silver electroplating uses cyanide-free silver plating solutions depositing high-purity silver layers 3-5 microns thick, providing maximum electrical conductivity and low contact resistance for high-current applications. Quality control equipment includes coating thickness gauges using X-ray fluorescence or eddy current principles for non-destructive measurement, adhesion testing per ASTM B571 using tape testing or bend testing methods, and salt spray testing per ASTM B117 verifying corrosion resistance through 96-hour to 500-hour exposure cycles.

Surface Finishes and Plating Options
Surface treatment selection significantly influences the electrical performance, corrosion resistance, solderability, and aesthetic appearance of terminal bars. We offer comprehensive plating and finishing options customized to application requirements and environmental exposure conditions.
Natural Brass Finish: Unplated Brass terminals exhibit the characteristic golden-yellow metallic appearance of Copper-Zinc alloys, providing adequate corrosion resistance for indoor, climate-controlled environments. Natural Brass develops a protective oxide patina over time, which may increase contact resistance slightly but does not impair functionality in low-current control panel applications. This finish option offers cost advantages for budget-sensitive projects and applications where surface appearance is not critical.
Tin Plating (Electroplated): The most widely specified finish for electrical terminal bars, tin electroplating provides exceptional solderability, low contact resistance (typically <2 milliohms), and effective protection against atmospheric corrosion. Our tin plating process deposits pure tin (Sn 99.9%+ purity) in coating thickness ranging from 5 to 15 microns, conforming to standards such as ASTM B545, IEC 60352, and DIN 41651. Bright tin plating produces a lustrous, mirror-like surface through post-plating reflow treatment at 180-230°C, melting and redistributing the tin coating to eliminate porosity and create a smooth, highly solderable surface. Matte tin plating maintains the as-plated crystalline structure without reflow treatment, offering a satin appearance with equivalent electrical performance. Tin-plated terminals resist tin whisker formation through grain structure control and stress-relief processes, ensuring long-term reliability in electronic applications.
Nickel Plating (Electroplated): Nickel electroplating offers superior corrosion and wear resistance compared to tin plating, making it ideal for harsh industrial environments, outdoor installations, and high-vibration applications. Standard bright nickel plating deposits ductile, adherent nickel layers 8-15 microns thick over a copper strike undercoat, providing excellent substrate adhesion and uniform coverage. The nickel plating exhibits hardness values of 150-200 HV (Vickers), significantly harder than tin or silver plating, resisting mechanical abrasion during cable installation and removal cycles. Electroless nickel plating represents an alternative deposition method producing uniform coating thickness on complex geometries, including internal threaded holes, with excellent corrosion resistance and solderability (when phosphorus content is controlled below 5%). Nickel-plated terminals withstand salt spray exposure exceeding 500 hours per ASTM B117 without base metal corrosion, suitable for coastal installations, marine applications, and chemical processing facilities.
Silver Plating (Electroplated): Silver electroplating delivers maximum electrical conductivity (approximately 106% IACS for pure silver) and lowest contact resistance among common plating materials, specified for high-current applications, radio frequency (RF) connections, and precision instrumentation terminals. Pure silver deposits 3-8 microns thick provide stable, low-resistance connections with minimal voltage drop, critical for power distribution busbars and high-current switching applications. Silver plating maintains electrical performance across wide temperature ranges and is resistant to oxidation at moderate temperatures, though exposed silver surfaces may develop tarnish (silver sulfide) in sulfur-containing atmospheres. Immersion silver plating offers a cost-effective alternative for thinner coatings (0.1-0.3 microns) providing temporary corrosion protection and excellent solderability for pre-tinned wire terminations.
