Understanding Chrome Plating

Due to different base metals the process can require more or less steps. We can electroplate copper, nickel, and chrome. The basic process in each tank is to dissolve a metal to be plated on a part with the application of an electrical current throughout the tank that pulls the dissolved metal ions out of the solution and onto the part that is to be plated. Our tanks are 4’x8’x4’deep that holds about 900 gallons in each tank.
