Copper plating is the process of depositing a copper layer onto various metals for functional and decorative purposes. Copper can produce a dull, polished, semi bright, gloss or satin finish and is used to coat metals for purposes ranging from automotive to medical.
Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, so you can use copper electroplating to improve the conductivity of a base material. Copper is also highly malleable, making it ideal for components that bend, and offers good protection against corrosion.
