Unfortunately it's a lot more complicated than that, Satish. The most common problem is poor cleaning, but there are many others. What is the substrate and the plating process?

Enhanced Humidity exceeding 55% aggravates this in the event you are using Hot Rolled Pickled Steel which is quite porous.

If your steel is good >DD or >EDD quality then poor process control in Plating should be the cause of this.
