Plating bath

A plating bath is a specialized liquid solution used in electroplating to deposit a thin, uniform layer of metal onto an item's surface. It contains metal salts, acids, and other chemicals that dissolve the metal, allowing it to be transferred onto the object when an electric current is applied. This process enhances the item's appearance, corrosion resistance, and durability. The composition of the bath must be carefully controlled to ensure a quality coating, and different formulations are used depending on the type of metal being plated, such as gold, silver, or nickel.
