Definitions

Electroplating relates to plating over metal surfaces.

Electroforming pertains to plating non-conductive surfaces, such as plastic.

Tank plating involves fully submerging the item in a plating solution inside a tank equipped with specific anodes working in conjunction with the plating solution.

Mini tanking is a small-scale version of tank plating for tiny items, like coins and rings, typically using 50-100ml of plating solution.

Brush plating involves applying the plating solution to a surface with a brush plating wand.

Pen plating uses a pen plating wand with a nib to apply the plating solution, ideal for selective plating on very small areas for detailed work.

Anodes are either metal sheets or rods placed inside a plating tank. Sheets are used in full tank plating, while rods are common in mini tanks, providing a positive electrical charge to the plating solution.
