Air General Permits - Chromium Electroplaters
Chromium plating and anodizing operations coat metal parts and tools with a thin layer of chromium to protect them from corrosion and wear.
Electroplating is the process of applying a metallic coating to an article by passing an electric current through an electrolyte in contact with the article to form a surface having properties different from those of the article.
The essential components of an electroplating process are an electrode to be plated, a second electrode to complete the circuit, an electrolyte containing the metal ions to be deposited on a direct source, and a direct current source.
