Different Types of Metal Plating Chemicals
Plating describes surface covering where a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. Plating is used for many purposes, some of them are to decorate objects, corrosion inhibition, solder ability, hardens, improves wear ability, reduce friction, improve paint adhesion, alter conductivity, radiation shielding and for many other purposes. Different types of CA metal plating chemicals are gold plating, silver plating, rhodium plating, chrome plating, zinc plating, tin plating, alloy plating, composite plating, cadmium plating, copper plating, nickel plating, brass plating.
Gold plating means that a thin layer of gold is deposited into the surface of another metal. Mostly it is deposited in copper, silver, and chemicals. Gold plating is used in electronics, jewelry. Silver plating is mostly used in items like cutlery and candlesticks. Silver is cheaper than gold. So it is used as a replacement for gold. Rhodium plating is used on white gold, silver or copper and its alloys. Chrome plating can be used for decorative purposes, corrosion resistance, and increases hardness. Industrial chromium plating is also known as engineered chrome.
There are two types of industrial chrome plating like hexavalent chromium, and trivalent chromium. Zinc plating involves the electrolytic application of zinc by immersing clean steel parts in a Zinc salt solution and applying an electric current. Tinplate is sheet steel covered with a thin layer of tin. Tinplate is mostly used in the manufacture of tin cans. Tinplate was used for cheap pots, pans and other hollowware. It is not safe to eat food from a rusty tin can. Tinplate has been replaced by galvanized vessels. An electroplated alloy may be solid solution strengthened or precipitation hardened by heat treatment to improve the plating physical and chemical properties. Tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, chromium carbide, and aluminum oxide are commonly used in composite electroplating.
Cadmium plating is used in aerospace fasteners, military and aviation specs. Cadmium plating can be used for corrosion resistance, has relatively low thickness, and for salt atmospheres, lubricity and solder ability. Cadmium plating is under examination because of the environmental toxicity of the cadmium metal. Different types of nickel plating are bright nickel and semi-bright nickel. Bright nickel plating is used in automotive, electrical, hardware and other industries. Black nickel plating is lustrous and has a black or dark gray color. Plating is done with little or no agitation. Copper plating is the process in which a layer of copper is deposited on the item to be plated by using an electric current. Three basic copper plating are alkaline, acid and mildly alkaline.

How to cut a hole in my metal shed to install a window.?
As I see it, I have the following options:
1. Get some pneumatic cutting tool - may be too expensive and I dont have mains power at the site ...
2. use compound aviation tin snips
3. use a jigsaw with metal cutting blades
4. use a haxsaw
I am not exactly sure of the thickness/type of metal the shed is made out of ... I would guess this would make a lot of difference as to which tool/approach to use?
I would plan to start by drilling a hole and eventually getting whatever cutting tool through it and start cutting, am concerned I wont be able to get the cut straight.
Any ideas or suggestions what may be the best way to approach this?
My first choice would be to drill a hole in it and then try some snips. Often the metal in sheds is thin enough to cut with some good quality hand cutters. Cutting a strait line can be difficult if you have the wrong snips. Your hand keeps running into the side, so get some that have an offset for easily cutting out a strait line.
Using a power tool may be disastrous. It may make a poor cut bending and stretching the material.
If it is too thick to cut by hand and you must resort to power tools, frame it with wood first, larger than the hole you want. It will then be easy to cut the metal out with a power tool. Just cut along the inside of the wood frame.
Frame it inside and out. Nothing fancy just something to keep the metal in place when you cut. If you are not sure how to do this. Just drill small holes in the corners of the size of the opening you want. Make sure the screws you place outside the opening area to hold the wood together, will be covered by the final frame,so the holes will not show in the end. You should be able to cut it with a saws all, electric saw with long blades made for metal.
