How It Works:

Preparation: The item to be electroplated, known as the substrate, is cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or oxidation.

Electrolytic Solution: The substrate is immersed in an electrolytic solution containing dissolved metal ions of the plating material (e.g., gold, silver, nickel, or brass).

Electrical Current: An electric current is applied, with the substrate serving as the cathode (negative terminal) and a metal rod of the plating material as the anode (positive terminal).

Deposition: The electrical current causes metal ions in the solution to move and adhere to the substrate's surface, creating a uniform and durable metal coating.
