What is plating?
Plating is a surface finishing process in which a thin layer of metal is deposited onto a substrate, which can be metallic or non-metallic. It is commonly used to enhance corrosion resistance, improve wear resistance, increase surface hardness, improve aesthetics, or modify electrical conductivity.
What other technologies are related to plating?
plating Competitor Technologies
molding
Molding, especially injection molding, offers an alternative method for creating parts with specific shapes and features, making it a competitor to plating for certain applications where surface finish and protection are not critical.
anodizing
Anodizing is a surface treatment, primarily for aluminum, that creates a protective oxide layer. It competes with plating in applications requiring corrosion resistance and improved surface properties.
casting
Casting is a method of shaping materials which competes with processes that require plating for shape forming.
powder coating
Powder coating is an alternative surface finishing method that provides corrosion resistance and decorative properties, directly competing with plating in many applications.
coating
Coating is a general term for surface treatments, and many coating types compete directly with plating for providing protection, aesthetics, or specific surface properties.
painting
Painting provides a protective and/or decorative layer, competing with plating as a surface finishing technique.
die casting
Die casting is a specific type of casting, and hence, is a method of shaping materials which competes with processes that require plating for shape forming.
PVD
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a coating technique that deposits thin films onto surfaces. It provides similar functionalities to plating (e.g., corrosion resistance, wear resistance, decorative finishes) and is a direct competitor.

plating Complementary Technologies
etching
Etching can be used to prepare a surface before plating or to create patterns in a plated layer, making it a complementary process.
Etch
Etching can be used to prepare a surface before plating or to create patterns in a plated layer, making it a complementary process.
CMP
Chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) is a process used to planarize surfaces, and might be used as a surface preparation or finishing step for plating.
