A standard for white bronze electroplating
The White Bronze process has been developed to produce a bright white finish to be used as a low cost replacement to silver. It is essentially a copper-tin-zinc alloy, that is lead free with a color similar to bright/satin nickel or silver. The deposit is highly corrosion resistant, non-magnetic, has low porosity and a low coefficient of friction. It has the hardness of nickel, electrical characteristics of silver but will not tarnish under harsh conditions. It is excellent for electrical contact applications.
White Bronze is also a substitute for nickel in various applications. It may be used as a undercoat with palladium, palladium/nickel, silver or gold products. It also can be used as a topcoat as well with the above finishes. It has excellent wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction that makes it ideal for high wear applications. In addition it has superb solderability and is lead free.
The process is available rack and barrel plating. It is also lead free and ideal for parts with deep recesses that are found in most RF or coaxial connectors.
Benefits of White Bronze
- White Bronze is Lead free
- Corrosion resistance
- Non-magnetic
- Electrical conductivity
- Solderable
- Extremely attractive
- Toxic free, nickel free deposit
- Excellent for medical applications as a biocidal metal layer.

High-Quality White Bronze Electroplating for your project
Whether you call it Bronzex, Miralloy, Sucoplate, PMD White Bronze, Speculum, Tri-Alloy, Tri-M3, quality and impeccable service is what matters most. That's why it pays to choose Precision. In addition to being a preferred supplier to worldwide RF and Microwave suppliers as well as global automotive industry leaders, quality and repeatability are assured through our ISO/TS 16949 quality systems certification.
When a plating white bronze (Bronzex, Miralloy, Sucoplate, PMD White Bronze, Speculum, Tri-Alloy, Tri-M3) job is important to your production schedule, you'll want a company with the capacity and experience that insures that the job is done fast and to specification. You'll also want technical support from a company who you can trust. That's why it pays to use a reliable, proven company like Precision.
We provide barrel, rack, as well as continuous selective and overall electroplating, and have over 900 years of plating experience to draw upon.
Our electroplating technologies are delivered with the unique needs of our clients in mind:
Barrel: Looking for a cost effective, repeatable and consistent loose piece barrel plating process? Precision ensures it by engineering every loose piece barrel project to the end specification. The goal of our calculated approach to loose piece barrel electroplating, including all barrels and inspection plans, is to meet our clients' requirements cost effectively and reliably. Involving Precision in your design meetings can result in a competitive advantage for your company that helps you rise above the competition.
Rack: All rack electroplating is not created equal. Precision provides custom designed tooling to ensure that product damage is minimized, resulting in a consistently high quality product. This is an excellent way to plate etched sheets and small prototype orders to help you understand what the issues are and if the finish is right for your application.
Continuous Reel to Reel electroplating: With 40 years of experience in reel to reel electroplating, you can depend on Precision to innovative solutions that other companies might say are impossible. Involving Precision in the design process with your injection molder or stamper will only bring better cost savings and long-term results to your project. Precision plates all of our finishes either overall or selectively using Micro-Plate (brush electroplating), Spot plating, Controlled Depth, Stripe and other proprietary select process.
In addition, Precision's product development support and service can help you prove that cost and quality requirements can be met before, during, or after your production cycle. Allowing our experts to get involved early in the design and requirement specification process allows you to build a more competitive product. Precision's engineers can plate loose prototypes or low volume reel to reel programs, either selectively or overall in low or high volume to meet pre-production requirements.
Precision engineers each electroplating project specifically to your print. Our solutions are engineered to plate on plastics, exotic alloys, die castings as well as brass and other alloys. At Precision, a controlled electroplating solution is at the heart of customer satisfaction. Our team is trained to provide "impeccable service" and we strive every day to meet the value, scheduling and price demands that our industry and clients require.
