Gold Plating Services

IMG_1240

Gold Plating is an electrode position process which deposits a thin layer of Gold onto the surface of another metal, such as a nickel plated Surface over some other base metal, by chemical or electrochemical means. Early applications of gold plating were almost exclusively for decorative purposes.

Gold, a precious metal, does not oxidize in air and, therefore, retains its electrical conductivity over long periods of time.  The rise of the electrical and electronic industries over the last fifty years has created uses for gold based on its chemical inertness, electrical conductivity and resistance to arc flashes in electrical applications. Gold is now commonly used on semi-conductors, industrial equipment and electronic connectors of all kinds.

Because of its high price and its high cost in relation to other electrodeposited metals and precious metals, it has always been important to deposit gold only in those areas and at such thickness as the application actually required. Thus selective techniques for gold deposition were developed quite early, and continue to be improved to this day.
