Benefit
Forms a Protective Barrier
Many types of industrial electroplating create a barrier on the substrate that protects it against atmospheric conditions such as corrosion.
Plated parts can last longer and need to be replaced less frequently, and are more likely to hold up under extreme conditions.
Enhances Appearance
Jewelry is often plated with a thin layer of a precious metal to make it more lustrous and attractive to potential buyers.
Manufacturers have a cost-effective way to make products more aesthetically appealing. Jewelers can sell products that look like pure gold or other precious metals at a much lower price.
Reduces Friction
Nickel plating can reduce the build-up of friction in certain materials such as electrical connectors.
Nickel plating improves performance and reduces premature wear and tear.
Conducts Electricity
Plating with silver can enhance electrical conductivity, making it a highly-effective process for the manufacturing of electronics and electrical components.
It is a cost-effective and efficient conductivity solution.
Resists Heat
Plating processes such as gold are capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures.
Plating with these metals protect engine parts and components from damage caused by extreme temperatures, which can increase their lifespan.
Promotes Adhesion
Copper plating is an ideal solution for providing an undercoating that facilitates adhesion with additional coatings.
It provides a smooth and uniform surface finish.
The process of electroplating, which in simple terms involves using an electrical charge to attach a thin metal layer or coating to an object such as an industrial part, is nothing new. For decades, many industries have benefited from the way that electroplating can increase the durability or improve the appearance of the plated piece. Ixco Plating support and help in the industrial use of electroplating for businesses of all types and sizes.
