Alocrom chromate conversion coating protects aluminium and gives a good base for paint. PRV offers Alocrom 1000 and Alocrom 1200. PRV Engineering has been trading from Pontypool, South Wales since 1986 and now runs a well equipped 54,000 sq ft facility.
PRV invested in its own silver and tin plating facility to take firmer control of quality, price and lead time. The wider range of finishes available includes zinc and passivation (rack and barrel), chrome, chemical black, phosphate, anodise (colour and hard), tin, silver, bright nickel, satin nickel, electroless nickel, bright copper, Alocrom 1000 and Alocrom 1200 chromate conversion, and metal polishing. The company runs a zero tolerance policy on rejects, and finishing is the last place anyone wants a problem.
Plating protects, conducts or decorates, and choosing the right finish depends on the job. Silver for lowest contact resistance, tin for cost effective solderable protection, zinc for steel corrosion resistance, anodise for aluminium wear. PRV can advise on the right finish and handle plating as part of a complete manufactured part.
Aerospace parts need precision, complex geometry and material integrity. PRV machines titanium, aluminium and nickel alloys on multi-axis plant, and waterjet cuts heat sensitive materials without any heat affected zone.
Materials range from everyday mild steels through to stainless, aluminium, copper and exotics such as Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium. PRV caters for one-offs, rapid prototypes and large batch production, and can hold stock for customers to call off in line with Kanban, VMI, consignment and JIT arrangements.
Every order follows a controlled route. Drawings are reviewed, materials are sourced with certification, work is planned across the shop floor and parts are inspected before dispatch. Customers get one contact who knows the job from quote to delivery.
PRV calls its approach One Answer, Many Solutions. Machining, waterjet cutting, deep hole drilling, fabrication, painting, powder coating, plating, installation and maintenance all sit under one roof, so customers deal with one company and raise one purchase order. Quality is controlled to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
