Plating

Time to Read: 0m 19s


Plating involves covering the surface of an object or solid surface using a thin metal. It can be used to help reduce corrosion and friction, improve wearability and solderability, and alter conductivity. It is also used on jewelry to give cheaper metals a gold or silver finish. Gold, chromium, zinc, and nickel are all variations of metals used for this process.
