Gold Plating Service

Service Details:

Gold Plating is a method for placing a thin coating, or layer, of gold onto the surface of another metal object. The gold electroplating process involves electrodeposition, in which an electric current is passed through a liquid electrolyte solution containing dissolved gold ions and other chemicals. This causes the ions to adhere to the surface of the object, resulting in the formation of a protective gold coating.

Benefits:
Gold contains a number of unique properties that make it ideally suited for numerous plating processes. Plating with gold also offers a host of valuable functional benefits for industrial manufacturers including:

• Preventing corrosion: Gold is the least reactive of all the metals. A gold coating will enhance the workpiece's ability to resist corrosion, which increases the product's longevity and lengthens the time until a replacement is required.
• Promoting electrical conductivity: A lesser-known aspect of gold is its natural ability to conduct electricity, which makes it a good choice for many electronics manufacturing applications.
• Increasing wear resistance: Gold will improve the durability of a product by increasing its resistance to normal wear and tear, which is an important characteristic in heavy-use environments.
• Protecting against extreme heat: Gold plating can create a "heat shield" that will safeguard the substrate against damage caused by exposure to elevated temperatures.
