What is gold plating used for?
Gold plating is often used in electronics, to provide a corrosion-resistant electrically conductive layer on copper, typically in electrical connectors and printed circuit boards.
Why is gold used for electroplating?
Multiple layers of metals can be applied with electroplating. Because gold bonds to some metals, such as silver and titanium, better than others like copper or nickel, different metal bonds will result in longer-lasting gold plates. The base layer also thickens the layer for more base protection.
