Topic: electroplating

Electroplating can occur with individual metals or various combinations (alloys), which can provide additional value to the electroplating process. Some of the most commonly used plated metals include: Copper: Copper is often used for its electrical conductivity and heat resistance. It is also commonly used to improve adhesion between layers of materials. Zinc: Zinc is highly resistant to corrosion. Often, zinc is alloyed with other metals to enhance this property. For example, when alloyed wi...
