Question

write any 5 applications of electroplating

Answer 1

Applications of electroplating

Electroplating is widely used in numerous sectors for coating metal objects with a thin layer of a different metal. The added metal has a desired property the original object lacks and is primarily used to improve corrosion resistance. Chromium plating is a great example. So much so that you’ll see it on many objects such as car parts, bath taps, gas burners, wheel rims and many others.

Other uses include:

Increase wear resistanceProtect against surface abrasionsReduce frictionImprove electrical conductivity (copper layer onto an electrical component)Prepare surfaces for better adhesion before painting or re-coating

Common metals used in electroplating include zinc, copper and tin but also precious metals like gold, silver and palladium. Plating is possible using single metals or with various combinations (alloys) that can provide additional value to the electroplating process. Silver and Tin are essential finishes for components that are designed to carry heavy electrical currents. A perfect example of this is Busbars.

There is no better way of controlling the quality of the finish other than doing it yourself. PRV Engineering invested in a silver and tin plating facility which has enabled them to do just that. We manufacture products which require numerous skills and processes. Finishing is the final operation and the quality and standard is of the utmost importance.
