Electroplating is a metal processing method that typically involves using metal materials such as nickel and utilizing electric current to deposit metal from a solution onto a mold or substrate with the desired shape, achieving the purpose of processing and shaping.
During the electroplating process, the mold or substrate to be processed is first immersed in an electrolyte solution containing metal salts.
Then, by applying electric current, metal ions in the electrolyte solution are deposited on the surface of the mold or substrate to form the desired metal layer.
Over time and with the action of the electric current, the metal layer gradually thickens until it reaches the desired thickness or shape.
Electroplating is commonly used in the production of parts with high precision and specific surface characteristics, such as plated metal jewelry, mold surface treatments, electronic components, copper crafts, and more.
This method offers advantages such as high processing precision, good surface smoothness, and relatively low cost, making it widely used in various industries.
