Coating and Finishing Processes Built for Critical Parts.
Compare Entech's core finishing services by function, fit, and application — so you can move quickly from requirement to quote on the path that matches your part.
Pick the process that fits the part.
Some processes are designed for uniform coverage on complex geometries. Others are chosen for ductility, controlled thickness, corrosion resistance, or substrate preparation. If you already know your process, jump straight to it. If not, this page is the starting point.

Electroless Nickel Plating
Best when you need highly uniform thickness, strong corrosion protection, and dependable coverage on recesses, cavities, and complex features.
Electrolytic (Sulfamate) Nickel Plating
Best when you need a ductile nickel deposit, targeted thickness control, or support for specific aerospace and legacy requirements.
Stainless Steel Passivation
Best when the goal is to remove free iron and restore or improve the corrosion resistance of stainless parts without adding a coating.
Sandblasting & Surface Preparation
Best when a surface must be cleaned and conditioned before plating or passivation to support predictable adhesion and consistent finish quality.
Four processes at a glance.
A high-level comparison of function, best fit, typical substrates, and outcome — useful when you're triaging a part across multiple finishing options.
Five things we look at first.
If you're still deciding, we evaluate a part across these five dimensions before recommending a process — so the part isn't forced into the wrong path.
Every process runs under AS9100D, ISO 9001 & NADCAP.
Where to go next.
Compare the two nickel options head-to-head, browse substrates, or check the specs and approvals each process answers to.
Electroless vs. Electrolytic
Side-by-side comparison of the two nickel processes — when each fits, what trade-offs they involve, and how to decide.
