HOME WHO WE ARE TREATMENTS SERVICES CONTACTS WHERE WE ARE CHROME PLATING CURIOSITY The discovery of the galvanic technique began in 1791 when Luigi Galvani discovered the "electric fluid", which is why all electrolysis procedures are called electroplating which derives from his surname Galvani. The first equipment for carrying out electroplating was developed by Johann Wilhelm Ritter in 1800 , using the electric current produced by a voltaic pile . During his experiments with electroplating, Ritter discovered that the amount of metal deposited depends on the distance at which the electrodes are placed. Depiction of an ancient equipment used for carrying out electroplating The chrome plating can then be satin or sandblasted (opaque) Matt sandblasted chrome Polished chrome Matt satin chrome Fork before chrome plating and after treatment Chrome plating has the following advantages: • Reduction of steel corrosion • Surface hardening of the material , since chromium is a very hard metal, it is used on elements that must resist severe wear, such as forks , and other mechanical parts subject to wear. Chrome plating is also widely used in the restoration of vintage cars and motorcycles Photos of details of a completely restored vintage car, specifically we can see: Masks, headlight rims and decorations Bumper Details of rear-view mirrors and handles Wheel rim Calender Various screws and details TREATMENTS Silver plating Bronzing Chrome plating Gilding Brass plating Copper plating Painting Examples of various treatments REQUEST A QUOTE © 2017 L'Artigiano del Restauro in Rome - Galvanic restoration treatments Thesis - Via Chiesina Uzzanese 38 00138 Rome - Tel. 06 88 56 56 86 - VAT 03751941000 - acceptance2@galvanicapaciotti.it designed and powered by atjoomla.com
