--Electroplating is an electrolytic process, in which metals are mostly separated from metal salt solutions with the use of a power source and chemical aids.
--Anodising is the electrolytic formation of an oxide layer on light alloys such as Aluminium and Magnesium. Both are electro-chemical processes for the refinement of base materials (e.g. nickel-plating, chrome-plating, gold-plating, anodising, etc.).
Surface properties such as corrosion protection, appearance, electrical properties, resistance to wear, smoothness, ability to be soldered etc. can be significantly altered by applying thin metal layers.
The thickness of these layers can vary from less than 1μm up to several 100 μm. Single layers or a combination of several different layers can be applied. The quality of the coating is always proven and tested using appropriate process controls and monitoring techniques. These involve a number of chemical and physical testing and examination methods....
