Copper plating is an electro-chemical process which deposits a thin layer of copper on metals. Copper is used as an undercoating, a maskant for case hardening, and a decorative finish. The typical plating thickness is 0.000020" to 0.002".

Copper is used as an undercoating to assist with adhesion to the basis metal. It is commonly used before nickel plating.

Copper is used as a maskant for carburizing. The thickness of the copper is typically 0.002" thick for this purpose and it must be plated from an alkaline bath.

Copper is plated over nickel as a decorative finish. It can have a polished, satin or antique finish. The finished piece is then lacquered so the copper will not tarnish.
