Metallkledningen
Metallkledningen refers to processes that apply a metallic layer onto a substrate to improve properties such as corrosion resistance, hardness, wear resistance, electrical conductivity, or appearance. The term can describe both metal plating, typically producing a thin coating, and metal cladding, where a substantial metal layer is bonded to a base material to form a composite with a robust exterior.
Plating methods deposit metal onto a surface. Electroplating uses an electric current to reduce dissolved metal
Cladding refers to bonding a metal layer to another metal to create a layered structure. Common cladding
Materials and applications vary widely. Typical metals include nickel, chromium, copper, zinc, tin, and stainless steels.
Advantages and limitations must be considered. Metallkleding can markedly extend service life and reduce maintenance, but
