Steel strips are typically processed for plating through a series of steps. First, the strips are cleaned to remove any impurities or contaminants. This is followed by surface preparation, which may involve mechanical processes like grinding or sanding to ensure a smooth and even surface. Next, the strips are often treated with chemicals or acid solutions to further clean and activate the surface, promoting better plating adhesion. Finally, the steel strips are immersed in a plating bath where a layer of the desired metal, such as nickel or zinc, is deposited onto the surface through an electrochemical process.
