Processing Information
The final quality of a gold coating depends greatly on proper surface preparation. Before plating, workpieces should be carefully cleaned, degreased, and activated to ensure excellent adhesion and a flawless surface finish.
Depending on the base material, a suitable intermediate layer may be necessary to achieve optimum adhesion, corrosion protection, and long-term durability.
Correct control of voltage, temperature, plating time, and electrolyte conditions ensures stable color reproduction and consistent coating quality.
