Chromium plating

Chromium plating is a process where a thin layer of chromium is applied to the surface of an object, often metal, to enhance its appearance and protect it from corrosion. This technique improves durability, making items resistant to scratches and wear, while also giving them a shiny finish. Commonly used in automotive parts, kitchen fixtures, and decorative items, chromium plating not only extends the lifespan of products but also adds aesthetic value. The plating process typically involves electroplating, where an electric current helps deposit chromium onto the surface.
