Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis.

In this electroplating method, the surface of the ceramic sheets is easily marked after electroplating. At the same time, because the ceramic sheets are laid flat in a single layer in a single set of baskets and are limited by the transmission width and electroplating rate, the electroplating output is low.
