how and what chemicals are used
plating or electroplating or galvanization to name a few
Gold plating on non-metals is a physical change. There is no chemical change when a wood, glass, ceramic, marble or plastic is being plated . However, Electroplating is a chemical change because when a metal is being plated with another metal, there is a chemical reaction.
Electroplating served a number of functions, such as protecting from corrosion and wear, decoration, and electrical shielding.
the metal on which electroplating is to be done is taken as cathode ( negative electrode) . the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as anode ( positive electrode) and the salt solution of the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as electrolyte . example- if we want to electroplate iron with copper then iron is taken as cathode and copper is taken as anode and electrolyte is copper sulphate.Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes. This is done through the use of copper in a copper sulfate bath.
electroplating is an effective method to prevent the metal from corrosion
Barrel and rack plating
NAICS Code(s) 332813 (Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring)
Alessandro Volta's creation of the battery in 1800 first made electroplating possible. Commercial electro-plating began around 1840.

Electroplating
Electropolishing. This is similar to an electroplating process, in reverse, and many plating shops can do it.
plating or electroplating or galvanization or amalgamation (mercury plating).
Barrel plating usually used for singulated units. Current supplied to the units by means of "fingers"/tangler in the barrel. Rack plating usually used for matrix work piece. Workpiece need to be placed in the rack for plating. Both platings hv similar plating concept, but pysically the plating done differently.
Gold-VA is a strong acidic cyanide based gold-electrolyte.It is used in gold plating.
The solvents used to dissolve plating metals often were highly toxic. Cyanide, for example, was a commonly used solvent.
H.G.E. stands for hydrostatic gold plating/gold electroplating. A ring that has those letters engraved on the inside isn't made of gold. It's made of some other metal that has been layered over with gold plating. The plating wears away with time. But the thicker the plating, the longer the lifespan. And H.G.E. is the thickest plating around for jewelry.
GE Research and Development devised a method for nickel-plating plastics to shield computer housings. This process did not use chromium, unlike Crown City Plating's process, and was applied with a water-based solution.
