The covering of base metal articles with a layer of gold or silver, which may be of various thicknesses and grades. Presence of plating may be discovered by filing and using nitric acid or by subjecting the item to specific-gravity testing.
To apply a coating of metal to an object by electrical depositation. Many fine manufacturers use a rhodium platinum to whiten white gold, since rhodium is a metal more like platinum and is dead white. White gold is formed by the alloys tricking the eye into seeing white, but there is no white gold of course...
One method of applying a coating one metal over another.
Plating is the application of a metallic deposit on the surface of the fastener by electrolysis, impact, or other suitable means.
To coat with a thin film of nickel, chromium, or other metal by mechanical or chemical means.
Thin, adherent layer of metal on a quartz blank.
A uniform coating of conductive material upon the base metal of the Printed Circuit Board, usually expressed in ounces per square foot.
To coat as a metal, with another metal, especially by electrolysis. See Electroplating
The overlaying of a thin coating of metal on metallic components to improve conductivity, facilitate soldering, or preventing corrosion.
a thin coating of metal deposited on a surface
the application of a thin coat of metal (as by electrolysis)
a coating of metal, usually deposited onto another metal to enhance its appearance or resistance
forming a layer of metal on an object from a plating solution.
Plating or electroplating was invented by Luigi Galvani and describes the process in which one metal is coated or bonds with another metal using electricity.
Chemical or electromechanical deposition of metal on a pattern.
Any thin metallic coating applied over a metallic substratum.
The application of a thin coating of metal on metallic components. Plating has the following benefits: Improves conductivity Provide for easy soldering Inhibits corrosion. In selective plating only contact areas of terminal are plated to reduce cost. Plating thickness is measured in micro inches or microns. Tin plating ranges is 100-200 micro inches (2-5 microns). Gold plating ranges from a 5-50 micro inches (0.1-1.3 microns).
Chrome plating, chrome dipping, metal plating, zinc, nickel & hard chrome plating equipment.
Metallic deposit on a surface, formed either chemically or electro-chemically.
A decorative and protective metal finish.
The overlaying of a thin coating of noble metal on metallic components to improve conductivity, provide for easy soldering or prevent rusting or corrosion.
Also called "electroplating," it is a secondary operation in the stamping process that involves coating a metal part with another metal substance by electrical means to increase the corrosion resistance of the part.
Monroe Plating, an internal division of McAlpin Industries, offers both automated rack and barrel zinc electroplating processes with clear, yellow, black, and blue-bright chromates. Product size capability ranges from hardware components to mainframe enclosures. Monroe offers plating services to companies throughout the United States and Europe.
Coating a metal base with another metal. In watch making a stainless steel base is coated with gold seven to 20 microns thick.
A coating that can apply to numerous materials used in costume jewelry, but most frequently applies to metals. Plating is a method of adhering more expensive metals to the exterior of less expensive metals to give the color and appearance of the higher quality metal, for example, gold plating over pot metal.
Platings normally used on hybrid circuit packages are gold, nickel, or tin.
Using the flow of electricity through a solution to deposit a coating of metal, generally decorative, on an object of some other metal.
Plating or electroplating (also called Galvanotechnics after its inventor, Luigi Galvani) is a process in which one metal is coated with another metal using electricity. In jewelry, inexpensive metals are frequently electroplated with more expensive metals, like gold (gold plating), copper (electrocoppering), rhodium (rhodanizing), chromium (chromium plating), or silver (silver plating). The thickness of the metal coat varies. Electrogilded coating is the thinnest (less than 0.000007 inches thick); gold-cased metals have a coating thicker that 0.000007 inches.
A thin coating of metal laid on another metal.
Plating is the general name of surface-covering techniques in which a metal is deposited onto a conductive surface. Plating is indispensable as a corrosion inhibitor for the manufacture of computers, mobile phones, and electronic devices as well as other uses such as solderability, hardness, wearability, friction loss, paint adhesion, conductivity, shielding, etc. Moreover, it is a key technology for the development of new machines.
