Nickel plating is a metal plating process that applies a layer of nickel to a metal surface by electroplating or immersion in a chemical solution. This treatment gives the material a number of advantages, including corrosion resistance, durability, surface hardness, and a bright, reflective aesthetic appearance. Nickel plating is widely used in a wide range of industries, from automotive to electronics, jewelry to the health care industry, to improve the performance and aesthetic appearance of metal components. Because of its ability to protect materials from corrosion and wear, nickel plating is a popular choice for applications requiring high performance and a high-quality finish.

Galvanizing, also referred to as electroplating, is a metal coating process that imparts strength, corrosion protection, cleanliness and luster to the material. This treatment involves immersing the metal object in a molten zinc solution or applying a layer of zinc by electroplating. Because of its protective and aesthetic properties, electroplating is widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, and shipbuilding to preserve the integrity and appearance of metal components exposed to weathering and wear.
