Phosphate and chemical black finishing give steel parts a dark, low reflective, lightly protective finish. Both are offered through PRV. Established in 1986, PRV Engineering operates from a 54,000 sq ft precision engineering facility in Pontypool, South Wales.
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.
Defence work demands repeatable accuracy, full traceability and a supplier that can be trusted with sensitive programmes. PRV supports the defence sector with machined, cut, fabricated and finished parts, working to drawing and specification under ISO 9001:2015 quality control. Hardened steels, armour plate and specialist alloys are all handled routinely.
Whether you need a single prototype or thousands of repeat parts, the work is planned to suit. Mild steel, stainless, aluminium, copper, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and titanium are all machined regularly, and a stocking service lets customers cut their own inventory and call off as needed.
Getting started is straightforward. Share your drawing or sample, tell the team your quantities and deadline, and PRV will come back with a quote and any suggestions to save cost. From there the work is managed in-house through to final inspection and 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.
