WHAT'S THE SILVER PLATING PROCESS?
Silver plating is valued for its durability and ability to resist tarnishing, allowing the Incense Holder to maintain its radiant shine for an extended period. The silver-plated finish also offers versatility, complementing various design styles and adding a touch of refinement to any setting.

By choosing the Incense Holder with a silver plated finish, you can enjoy the timeless beauty and allure of silver, creating an exquisite and eye-catching piece that is sure to captivate.


The silver plating process steps are relatively straightforward, although they differ depending on what type you're doing — barrel or rack plating. The basic strategy, however, goes like this:

Inspection: Before electroplating, you should always check the part for imperfections — like cold shuts or sharp edges — and amend these issues before starting the process. Otherwise, the quality of the substrate will decrease, and this may cause problems for your customers.
Pre-treatment: Complete any necessary treatments before plating onto your metal part. You should also do an under-plating of copper, nickel or both metals. Additionally, you can add a silver strike or an anti-tarnish coating if there's a particular effect you want to achieve. If you plate a layer of nickel or copper with a 0.0005-inch thickness, the silver should also be 0.0005 inches for a total of 0.0010 inches.
Electroplating: Silver plating involves submerging the substrate into a bath of silver ions. After passing an electric current through the solution, the ions deposit onto the part's surface, coating it in your chosen metal — in this case, silver.
