General electroplating technology refers to the commonly used electroplating techniques in industries such as hardware and sanitary ware. It is a process that utilizes electrolysis to deposit a layer of metal or alloy onto the surface of metal or other material workpieces, thereby preventing metal oxidation and improving wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics. General electroplating processes typically involve the use of specialized chemicals such as pretreatment chemicals and electroplating additives.
