Copper Electroplating. Copper is electroplated from a wide variety of baths for (1) decoration and corrosion resistance (with nickel under chromium), (2) through-hole plating, (3) nitriding stop-off, (4) electroforming (record plating, etc.), and (5) decoration to be usually followed by lacquer.

OBS

electroplating: cathodic plating of metal parts with other metals to improve appearance, protect base metal from corrosive attack, provide a wear-resistant surface, and improve solderability and electrical or thermal conductivity of metal parts. Plating may also be used to build up over machined or worn surfaces.
