Chrome plating
Chrome plating is a process where a thin layer of chromium is applied to a surface, typically metal, to enhance its appearance and protect it from corrosion and wear. The process involves cleaning the object, applying an electric current, and submerging it in a solution containing chromium ions. As the current passes through, chromium bonds to the surface, creating a shiny, durable finish. This technique is commonly used in automotive parts, bathroom fixtures, and household appliances, giving them a visually appealing look while extending their lifespan.
