In the production process of metal glasses, the metal surface needs to be treated, and the treatment methods are roughly divided into two types: electroplating and anodizing.

Electroplating is suitable for the surface treatment of various metals and non-metals. As long as the surface treatment is reasonable, all kinds of metals and non-metals can be electroplated. Even if it's a thin leaf, it can be electroplated as long as it is properly treated. Different from anodic oxidation, the material to be plated is used as the cathode, and the plated metal is energized as the anode. The plated metal exists in the electrolyte in the state of metal ions. Through the charge effect, the metal ions of the anode move to the cathode and are deposited on On the electroplating material of the cathode, the more common coating metals are silver, copper, nickel, zinc, etc.

The surface treatment method of aluminum glasses is different from other glasses. The commonly used surface treatment method for aluminum alloy materials is anodizing. After anodizing, the surface has good aesthetics, stronger corrosion resistance, and is easier to care for, and aluminum glasses can be oxidized and colored. , to get a variety of desired colors.

Anodic oxidation is to use the oxidized aluminum material as an anode and conduct electrolytic oxidation through a voltage current, so that a dense oxide film is formed on the surface of the material, and this oxide film is its own oxide.

It can be seen that both anodizing and electroplating belong to surface treatment, both of which can achieve beautiful and anti-corrosion effects, but there are essential differences between the two. Electroplating is to add another metal protective layer to the surface of the original material through physical effects, while anodizing is to electrochemically oxidize the surface layer of the metal.
