Electroplating is a process that involves coating a conductive surface with a thin layer of metal using an electrical current. This technique is widely employed across various industries to enhance the properties of metal surfaces, imparting benefits such as increased corrosion resistance, improved electrical conductivity, enhanced appearance, and increased wear resistance. The major factors driving the expansion of its use include the growing demand for durable and high-quality metal products in the automotive, electronics, aerospace, and jewelry industries. Technological advancements and increasing environmental awareness have led to the the development of eco-friendly electroplating processes, further propelling its adoption. However, the process involves using toxic chemicals, posing environmental and health risks. There is the potential for uneven coating thickness and the risk of hydrogen embrittlement in high-strength alloys. Addressing these concerns involves strict adherence to safety protocols, proper waste disposal practices, and the ongoing research and development of safer, more efficient electroplating methods. Furthermore, innovations such as pulse electroplating provide improved control over coating thickness and quality while exploring less toxic and more environmentally friendly plating solutions, which is expected to reduce the industry's environmental impact. Additionally, the elevating demand for electric vehicles and the ongoing miniaturization of electronics is anticipated to drive further growth and diversification in electroplating applications. Electroplating remains a crucial technology with significant potential for advancement and expansion as industries seek ways to improve product durability and performance.
