Decorative plating

Decorative plating is a process used to apply a thin layer of metal onto a surface for aesthetic and protective purposes. Common metals used include gold, silver, nickel, and chrome. This technique enhances the appearance of items like jewelry, electronics, and household fixtures, giving them a more polished or luxurious look. Beyond beautification, decorative plating can also provide corrosion resistance and improve durability. The plating process can be achieved through various methods, such as electroplating, where a metal is deposited onto an object by using an electrical current.
