– Electroplating
In this method, the desired metal is immersed in an electrolyte solution, and a thin layer of it is formed on the product’s surface using an electric current.
– Electroless plating
In this method, a thin layer of the desired metal is formed on the product’s surface using chemical processes.
-Physical plating
In this method, a thin layer of the desired metal is formed on the product’s surface through physical processes such as metal evaporation and deposition.
– Vacuum plating, also known as vacuum metallizing, is a plating method where the thickness of the plated layer is extremely thin. However, the layer completely covers the surface of the product, and its color remains resistant to severe and constant impacts.
In vacuum plating, the process is carried out in a vacuum chamber where the desired metal or alloy is evaporated and then deposited onto the product’s surface. This method ensures a uniform and durable coating, providing excellent protection against impact and maintaining the color integrity over time.
Vacuum plating is commonly used in various industries, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, and decorative applications, where a thin yet robust layer is desired for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
-And the last method is laser plating
This method is predominantly used for plastic and polymer products and is considered a modern technique. It is employed to enhance the shine and beauty of the products.Among other plating methods, laser plating is relatively more expensive.
