Plating Technology and electrochemical processes have become key competences of Luma during the last years along with the dynamic development of high tech application areas such as satelllite antennas in space or medical applications, among others.
The demands of these application areas are high and often postulate a zero defect performance.
In conclusion Luma Metall put a lot of effort into the development of appropriate processes and control mechanisms.
Business by Innovation: Our Technology group is at your disposal!
We invite you for open discussions with our Tech Group Team in order to find solutions for your markets and projects.
The Luma Technology Group
The Luma Technology Group currently consists of:
Every member of the Technology Group has dedicated tasks that are part of a control chain and of constant process improvement.
Main Fields:
We work according to ”Lean Management” work principles of which the most important to us are:
At Luma Wire Tech, we believe that true innovation is built on scientific collaboration and knowledge sharing. Our commitment to advancing electrochemical plating techniques has led to active partnerships with leading universities and research institutes. A testament to this dedication is the recent publication “Gold Electrodeposition on Tungsten Single Crystals and Thin Wires” in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society, co-authored by our CEO, Dr. Ulrik Palmqvist.
The study explores the fundamental processes that govern gold deposition on tungsten substrates—insights that are crucial for ensuring adhesion, conductivity, and long-term reliability in applications ranging from aerospace and electronics to medical devices. By combining academic research with industrial expertise, Luma continues to pioneer new standards in ultra-fine wire technology.

We constantly widen our network of contacts with universities, research institutes and industry partners. We are willing to share our contact-pool with others who are interested. We call it the Luma Excellence Center. The Excellence Center is supposed to be kind of a ”Think Tank” where everybody can share their ideas. You are very welcome to become part of it. We will of course always ask for your consent before giving your contact to third parties.
For Project work please refer to the extra section under this chapter: Internal and External TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS.
The Luma Technology Group can perform CASE STUDIES, in order to investigate samples or processes.
In general, a combination of methods are used:
A typical case study related to a corrosion issue could be performed as follows:
After corrosion failure analysis root causes can often be explained. Luma has high field competence and extensive experience in coatings and protection against corrosion.
Using iChemistry software by Intersolia in Luma´s chemical processes, particularly for plating on fine metal wires, offers several significant advantages. This kind of software typically integrates process control, monitoring, and automation, which is critical in high-precision applications like fine wire plating.
Regulations and Requirements from authorities and industry partners are getting more and more complex in environmental and safety aspects.
The strongest Features of iChemistry for Luma besides ensuring competitiveness and a forefront position in plating technology are:
More in detail iChemistry helps for process optimization and monitoring of bath chemistry and allows for precise control of metal ion concentration, pH, temperature, and additives. Especially a consistent plating thickness and adhesion quality are strong sales arguments in respect to our high-tech customers in industries like Space, Medical or Research.
It also helps reducing scrap in increasing the yield resulting in more a competitive cost structure and potential market pricing. Plus, it helps minimizing chemical waste through predictive replenishment and drag-out reduction and thus reducing the environmental impact – a must for the future of plating technology
