摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for plating (electroplating or electroless plating) a metallic film coating onto a substrate, whereby the coating comprises fluorine containing particles, embedded in a metal matrix and distributed in a gradient throughout the thickness of the coating. The method comprises the steps of preparing a plating liquid and dispersing the fluorine containing particles therein, and subjecting the substrate to plating in a plating bath under ultrasonic agitation, with the proviso that the power of ultrasonic agitation in the bath is changed during plating. The invention also relates to a product with a wear resistant and smooth surface, provided by a metallic coating obtained by the method, and in particular to a laundry iron with an improved soleplate.
