PLATING

 

The electroplating process is to immerse the parts into the metal salt solution as the cathode, the electrode metal plate as the anode, and the current passes through the parts to deposit the metal elements on the surface to form a coating. Electroplated coatings generally have the effect of surface protection and beautifying the appearance. The commonly used metal plating processes include copper plating, nickel plating, silver plating, gold plating, chromium plating, zinc plating, tin plating, etc.

 

What Is Plating And Why Is It Done?

Electroplating is a surface treatment process that changes the physical properties of the workpiece surface.

 

Workpiece surface electroplating can provide different characteristics of workpiece substrate, such as conductivity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. These changes are the characteristics that the workpiece must-have in the use process but the substrate does not.

 

What Does Plating Work Mean?

Electroplating is the process of covering a metal layer on the surface of the workpiece. After electroplating, the surface of the workpiece will change its wear resistance, conductivity, reflectance, and corrosion resistance (copper sulfate, etc.) and improve its appearance. Improve the wear resistance and make the workpiece conductive or insulating. Increased reflective effect. Improve corrosion resistance.
