Electroplating
Silvax Process offers Electroplating service. Electroplating is the application of a metal coating to a metallic or other conducting surface by an electrochemical process. The article to be plated (the work) is made the cathode (negative electrode) of an electrolysis cell through which a direct electric current is passed. The article is immersed in an aqueous solution (the bath) containing the required metal in an oxidised form, either as an aquated cation or as a complex ion. The anode is usually a bar of the metal being plated. Some of the purposes for which articles are electroplated are: appearance, protection, special surface properties and engineering or mechanical properties, either singly, or in combination of two or all. Silvax Process has over 25 years experience in surface coatings business. Besides electroplating, the company also offers other coating services like powder coating, zinc and nickel plating, electroless nickel plating and hard chrome plating.
