3. Inspection: After drying the workpiece needs to be quality inspection, check whether the surface is smooth, whether there are defects and so on. If necessary, electrical or other performance tests are also required.
III. Follow-up treatment and maintenance
1. According to the need, the plating parts for the necessary protective treatment, such as oiling, covering the protective layer, etc., in order to extend its service life.
2. For plated parts stored for a long time, they should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that they are kept in good condition.
