🔰 Plating is a surface coating method in which a metal is coated on a conductive surface. Plating has been done for hundreds of years; It is also important for modern technology. Coating for decoration of objects, corrosion inhibition, durability improvement, hardening, coating improvement, friction reduction, paint adhesion improvement, conductivity change, IR reflection improvement, radiation protection and other purposes are among the advantages of electroplating.
🔰 There are several plating methods. In one method, a solid surface is covered with a metal sheet and then heat and pressure are used to bond them. Other coating techniques include electroplating, vacuum vapor deposition, and spray coating. Recently, coating often refers to the use of liquids. Metallization refers to metal coating on non-metallic objects. The thickness of this thin metal layer rarely exceeds 0.025 mm or 25 microns.
