Electroless plating

Electroless plating is a chemical process used to deposit a metal layer onto a surface without using electrical current. Instead of relying on an electric current, this method uses a chemical solution that facilitates the reduction of metal ions, allowing them to bond to the surface. It creates a uniform coating, which can improve conductivity, corrosion resistance, or enhance appearance. Commonly used metals include nickel, gold, and silver. Industries utilize electroless plating for electronics, automotive parts, and jewelry, as it provides even coverage on complex shapes and materials.
