Electroplating is an electrochemical process that deposits a metal layer on the surface of the component through the phenomenon of electrodeposition.
Inside an electrolytic cell, thanks to the flow of electric current, the metal ions present in the solution are reduced and deposited on the surface of the part, creating a coating that is uniform and controlled.
This process improves both the aesthetic and functional characteristics of the component, increasing resistance, protection and durability over time.
Electroplating is one of Effebiesse's strengths. Thanks to a modern in-house electroplating plant, the company creates surface finishes dedicated to die-cast zamak components, developing solutions capable of enhancing their appearance and performance.
The electroplating cycle includes several stages, including alkaline copper, acid copper, matte nickel, bright nickel and chrome, a controlled sequence to achieve surfaces that are uniform, bright and technically high-performing.
Effebiesse carries out treatments such as chrome plating, nickel plating, copper plating and satin finishing, as well as special finishes developed on request of the customer, including gold plating, bronze plating, Scotch-Brite and Alu finishes.
The combination of electroplating technology, experience and attention to detail creates surfaces capable of enhancing the design of the component and meeting the needs of different application sectors.
