Electroplating is a process in which a protective or decorative metal coating is applied to the surface of another metal. To ensure this process is done efficiently and uniformly, industries use electroplating jigs, hangers, and racks. These tools securely hold the metal parts during the plating process, ensuring proper contact with the plating solution.
