Plating
Plating is a surface covering in which a
metal is deposited on a
conductive surface. Plating has been done for hundreds of years; it is also critical for modern technology. Plating is used to decorate objects, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, to improve IR reflectivity, for radiation shielding, and for other purposes.
Jewelry typically uses plating to give a
silver or
gold finish.
Thin-film deposition has plated objects as small as an atom, therefore plating finds uses in
nanotechnology.
