SURFACE TREATMENTS
WE PROTECT YOUR SURFACES
A reliable partner of the Italian and European mechanical engineering industry since 1973
MICRON COATINGS GROUP was born from the experience started in 1973 with the establishment of Durox srl, one of the first Italian companies to provide hard anodizing services for aluminum. Subsequently Micron srl was founded in 1985, specializing in electroless nickel plating treatments.
Operating in the metals treatment and coating sector, the group stands today as a consolidated supplier recognized throughout Europe. Micron srl in Soncino (Cremona, Lombardy) and Durox srl in Remanzacco (Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia) serve customers in Italy and across Europe.
Our treatments are used primarily in the automotive, pneumatics, medical, packaging, textile, motorsport, bike, marine, and aerospace sectors.
Certified quality system: ISO 9001, IATF 16949 (Micron srl) and NSF-51 treatments for food contact applications.
For more than 50 years our goal has been total customer satisfaction, achieved thanks to our technical know-how and constantly updated skills, equipment, and production processes.

ELECTROLESS NICKEL PLATING
Electroless nickel plating is a chemical process of nickel-phosphorus alloy deposition performed by immersion in a nickel salt aqueous solution. It allows mechanical components having complex geometries to be coated with a metallic film, with uniform thickness over the entire surface.
This process differs from electrolytic nickel plating due to the deposition method and surface characteristics. Electroless nickel plating is a functional treatment that imparts enhanced characteristics in terms of uniform coating thickness, hardness, wear, and corrosion resistance.
Thanks to its characteristics and the possibility of plating all metals, it is the most widely used coating in the mechanical engineering sector.

Anodizing is an electrolytic process that allows the formation of an oxide film on the surface of aluminum alloy parts. This is the most widely used treatment on aluminum because it imparts excellent surface properties at limited cost.
The anodizing types most widely used in industry are clear anodizing and hard anodizing, and they differ in terms of both surface characteristics and treatment processes.
Hard anodizing is preferable when the surface characteristics of hardness, wear and corrosion resistance are to be maximized. Clear anodizing is used as a light surface protection against corrosion, wear, and scratches.
