Gold Plating: All That Glitters
Gold plating is described as an electroplating process where an
electrically conductive item is coated with a layer of gold
using electrical current. Most probably, you have already seen
items that are end products of gold plating. Some inexpensive
jewelry with a fine coating of gold are products of gold
plating.
The gold plating process is fairly simple. First, the object
that will be coated will be placed with a negative charge. After
putting a negative charge on the object it will then be immersed
in a salt solution of gold. Because it is positively charged,
the metallic ions of the salt will be attracted to the
negatively charged object. The positively charged ions will
revert back to their metallic form giving you a newly
electroplated object.
You can buy a machine that will enable you to deposit genuine
gold, silver or rhodium on to any metallic surface. These
machines are portable and smaller and lighter than a video
recorder.
A portable gold plating machine makes use of a process called
"selective brush plating." With a portable gold plating machine,
you can plate items without removing them. You can even do money
gold, silver or rhodium plating while customers wait. You can
make large amounts of money while doing bath fittings, watches,
jewelry, cutlery, ornaments and gifts.
The gold plating process using a portable gold plating machine
is not hard to do. It would only take you 15 minutes to learn
operating the portable gold plating machine. The portable gold
plating machine is also sage to use. It carries a coveted CE
standard mark for electrical devices. All electrical devices are
required to carry this standard.
With a portable gold plating machine, you do not have to
purchase expensive tank systems. You don't have to rent or buy a
large and expensive space for your business. A portable gold
plating machine does not require stockholding if solution
inventories. Finally, a portable gold plating machine does not
require costly dismantling of the item to be gold-plated.
Using a portable gold plating machine involves a proven system
with a three stage process. This process include: 1) removal of
the existing chrome, 2) activation of the underlying nickel
surface and, 3) plating with 24k gold. Items that can be gold
