Benefits/Features of gold electroplating
Gold electroplating, when used in jewelry
manufacturing, allows the manufacturer to provide the market with jewelry
that appears to be made of pure gold at a cheaper price as the jewelry is
only plated with gold. This process can also provide benefits to the
electronics industry when used. The gold plating on electronics allows the
electronic device to be more conductive and more resistant to wear, thus
performing better and lasting longer.
Typical Application of Gold Electroplating
Gold electroplating is commonly used in
manufacturing jewelry by plating silver, and in electronics in electrical
connectors and printed circuit boards which forms an electrically conductive
layer on copper that is also resistant to corrosion.
Additonal Information About Gold Plating
It is easy process with well defined chemistry and
time relationship. End product may look different depending on the
electrolyte solution. If you are trying to match a gold article you will
have to coat that part too.
