Nickel-chrome plating

Nickel-chrome plating is a process that applies a thin, durable metal layer of nickel and chromium onto a surface, typically metal objects. This plating enhances corrosion resistance, increases surface hardness, and gives a shiny, attractive finish. The process involves electrolysis, where the object is submerged in a solution containing metal ions, and an electric current deposits the metals onto its surface. Nickel provides corrosion protection and smoothness, while chrome adds a bright, reflective appearance and additional protective qualities. This type of plating is commonly used on automotive parts, household fixtures, and decorative items to improve their durability and appearance.
