a swage mount that includes a flange , having a first side and a second side , and a cylindrically shaped hub . the hub is primarily comprised of a metal , and extends from the second side of the flange , and has an inner surface and an outer surface . the surface of the swage mount is plated with one or more layers of metal , or a combination of metals , which provide a ) increased retention torque , and b ) increased part cleanliness . this invention may be used in conjunction with surface hardened swage mounts that contain surface protrusions . in this case the metal plating prevents separation of the protrusions from the swage mount , thereby preventing contamination .
