What is electroplating?

Electroplating is a fascinating, but perhaps also a little intimidating topic. But don't worry: in this article, you will learn how to immerse yourself in the world of electroplating step by step.

Basics of electroplating

Here you will find an overview of the terms used in electroplating.

Corrosion protection of the coatings

Read here how the protection is affected. It does not simply protect a thin layer completely, as very fine pores often form. This is why layer combinations are also used.

Scattering in the galvanising process

Here we will look at the scattering. This is important because the current is not distributed evenly and this has a strong influence on the deposition.

How can i electroplate 3D printing?

Here you will find the basic steps for galvanically coating a 3D printed object.

The processes of electroplating

The following section presents the various processes of electroplating, also discussing the basic tools used for the individual methods.
