What are the benefits of electroplating gold?

2022-08-16

Gold electroplating has the following main functions:

　　1. Anti-corrosion

　　Gold is extremely resistant to chemical corrosion and discoloration, and does not melt at high temperatures of 1000 degrees Celsius.

　　Second, the appearance is bright

　　Gold has a mirror-like luster and can maintain its luster for a long time, so it is often used for decoration.

　　3. Strong thermal conductivity

　　Gold has good electrical and thermal conductivity, the electrical conductivity ranks third among metals, and the thermal conductivity is 74% of that of silver.

　　4. Wide range of uses

　　Gold is widely used in copper, stainless steel and aluminum alloy surfaces to protect the base material from corrosion and play a bright decorative role.

What are the hardware materials that can be electroplated with gold?

　　Aluminum alloy gold plating, ceramic gold plating, copper gold plating, stainless steel gold plating, tungsten copper gold plating and other hardware gold plating products. Electronic, communication, optical fiber, aviation, medical and other precision hardware connectors, conductive contact sheets, and industries that require conductivity, solderability, corrosion resistance, etc. can be gold-plated.
