Currently we are allowing our machine houses to select plating suppliers and we are not always happy with the results so we want to survey the plating houses and come up with a list of plating suppliers that are acceptable to us.
Most of our housings are gold plated with some being silver plated.
The automotive industry has developed a very detailed checklist for plating companies, CQI-11. It's available from AIAG here: Special Process: Plating System Assessment
Sounds like you want to really investigate the part cleaning process. Peeling and blisters are indicative of contamination on the surface to be plated.
