Each component is secured to a rack using metal hooks or bands before being immersed in the plating solution and exposed to an electrical current.<\/p><p>The fixed positioning of each part allows better control over the plated surface. Rack plating can also support selective or partial coating requirements. For components with complex geometries, auxiliary anodes or robbers may be used to help achieve the required coverage.<br \/><br \/>Our experienced team can engineer custom racks based on the
