Copper may be plated from a variety of baths depending on the desired final finish. The copper bath probably remains the most common type, and it is used for both a finish coat and as an underplate or "strike." An underplate can be followed by another finish coating of copper or a different kind of metal.
Copper is known for its softness and malleability and can easily cover minor imperfections in whichever base metal you choose. As with all other Quality Plating Ltd finishes, our copper finishes go through an electro cleaning and electroplating process and can come with either a polish or satin finish.
The Many Joys of Copper Plating
Copper is known for its high electrical conductivity, malleability and corrosion resistance, which make it a popular choice for coating components in a wide range of industries — from cars and electronics to telecommunications and aerospace engineering.
While copper is a highly effective choice for most applications, there are some things to consider. First of all, since it is highly reactive, it is not recommended that you plate iron with copper without first applying a nickel base coat.
Secondly, copper plating may contain cyanide, which is highly toxic. Copper is also a dull metal, so additives may be required if you are looking for a glossy finish.

Copper Underplates
Another major use of copper plate is to act as an undercoat for gold, palladium, silver, and tin. These underplates contribute to the performance of the total coating by improving corrosion resistance, wear-resistance, and malleability.
Copper is chosen alongside nickel as the ideal underplating material since it adheres well to a variety of different base materials, as well as to the subsequent plated metal. Copper is also an excellent conductor of both heat and electricity, making it popular for many engineering applications.
