Different types of metal plating chemicals

Plating describes surface-covering where a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. Plating is used to decorate objects, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solder ability, to harden, to improve wear ability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, for radiation shielding, and for other purposes. The different types of CA metal plating chemicals are electroplating, electro less plating, copper plating chemicals, nickel plating chemicals, zinc plating chemicals, silver plating chemicals, tin plating chemicals, brass plating chemicals, chrome plating chemicals, cadmium plating chemicals, Rhodium plating chemicals

Electroplating is an ionic metal which is supplied with electrons to form a non-ionic coating on a substrate. Gold plating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold on the surface of other metal, most often copper or silver. Rhodium plating is occasionally used on white gold, silver or copper and its alloys. Chrome plating is a finishing treatment utilizing the electrolytic deposition of chromium. Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Tin plating process is used mostly to protect both ferrous and non ferrous surfaces. Cadmium plating can be used to dye many colors, has good lubricity and solder ability.
