Alloys and metals used in plating

A wide variety of metals are used in plating components using the electroplating, electroless plating or selective plating processes. Often, the type of metal to be used depends on the type of application. Be it giving a finished metallic look to improve aesthetics, or be it changing the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of a component for …

Types of metal plating process

Types of metal plating process The metal plating process is of two different types: Electroplating and electroless plating. While electroplating requires electrical current, electroless plating involves dipping the component in a liquid solution to bring about the desired reaction. Both the processes have their own pros and cons. The choice of plating method is determined …
