  3. http://indacocoats.com/ In a nutshell, electroplating is a process of plating/coating a piece of metal with another metal by the process of electro-deposition. It is similar to adding a new skin to metal to make it attractive and durable. What is the process of electroplating? As the name suggest, electroplating is a process of deposition or plating. In the process, the metal which has to be electroplated is dipped in a tank full of electrolyte solution. In this tank the metal act as cathode and another anode is already there in the tank. Later, Direct current Is passed through the tank and this results in the formation of ions that sticks to the surface of the metal. This results in the electro-plating of the metal.

  4. Material suitable for electroplating? Nickel Black nickel/chromium Chromium Palladium or Palladium Nickel Alloy Gold Silver Copper Tin Platinum Ruthenium Cadmium Brass Zinc

  5. Uses of electroplating? Plating ads properties to the metal. The core metal which is electroplated may not have the properties as the metal that is coated on it, has. This makes it super use full for the industries. In the telecom sector, the copper conductors are coated with silver as silver has best conductivity to the electric current. This helps the businesses in cost cutting as they do not have to use the whole silver wire, but just coating of it.

  6. Protective barrier. Electroplating a metal is like giving a new skin to the metal. we can coat a reactive metal with less reactive metal and this will help the metal to survive longer. A reactive metal reacts with the atmosphere and corrodes very soon but by coating it with the less reactive breaks the contact of the atmospheric condition and the core metal.

  7. Thickness There are many ways of cover the metal body like paint, anodizing, etc. if you need a thick layer of covering to your metal, electroplating is the way. Electroplating gives a thick layer of protection to the metal than any other process.

  8. Finishing Electroplating is largely used to enhance the appearance of the metal. often the jewellery which is made of a cheaper material is plated with gold or silver to make it look attractive and beautiful. Similarly, the old metal components are electro-plated with which c gives it completely a fresh look.

  9. Insulation Electroplating is also used as for insulating a material. Coating isolates the parts from electrical currents passing through. It prevents static build up and materials from clinging, most especially to the substrate. That’s why coating is used in copy rollers, print industry equipment, and beverage filling probes.

  10. If you are looking for electro-plating services in India, you can reach out to Indaco coats. It provides the best solution in aluminium and Titanium Anodizing electropolishing and surface finishing.
