What is Plating?

Plating is a thin layer of metal placed over the substrate to protect the material. Preparation includes cleaning, polishing, and preparing the metal before the plating process begins. The plating is treated and finished following the completion of the plating process. The two types of plating are:

Electroplating

Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another via hydrolysis. Electrons introduced to the metal during the plating process increase the conductivity. The anode is the metal used to form the plating, and the cathode is the metal that requires plating. The electroplating process strengthens substrate materials. The protective layer’s thickness depends upon the length of its intended use. There are multiple ways to electroplate, including mass plating, rack plating, continuous, and line plating.

Electroless Plating

Electroless plating is the process of plating metal via chemicals instead of electrical methods. The process commonly involves plastics and improves durability and appearance.
