The Power Of Transformation: How Electroplating Enhances Materials

Posted by Sachin CMI on July 11th, 2023

In order to prevent corrosion or for ornamental purposes, metal is electroplated onto another metal utilising hydrolysis. This technique and electroforming share the same electro-deposition process and are both considered to be forms of additive manufacturing. The anode, cathode, and metal to be coated are all submerged in an electrolytic bath containing a salt solution. In order to reduce friction and stop corrosion, an area is protected by Electroplating. To guard against wear and tear damage, it also has a thin, durable metal coating. When a non-metallic surface is covered in metal, the surface properties of the object are changed.

Metal coatings are frequently used to improve the appearance of components since they also enable wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance. Silver, gold, brass, and copper plating are the four subcategories of global Electroplating. The layer must be submerged in a silver ion bath during silver plating. The component's surface is then covered with the chosen metal once the electrons have transferred through the solution and deposited there. The process of gold plating involves utilising chemical or electrochemical plating in the presence of electricity to deposit a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal.
