What's the difference between Flash and Strike

A. Hi, Pawel. "Flash" has a legal meaning when referring to gold plating of jewelry, but in most contexts neither is a technical term, so it's hard to put much meaning on them. Both tend to mean a very thin layer of plating, but 'flash' is sometimes associated with "just enough plating that you can see the color", whereas 'strike' is usually associated with activation of the substrate and with an initial layer. For example, if you want to plate stainless steel you usually will start with a Wood's Nickel Strike to activate the stainless and get good adhesion to it before proceeding with other plating. But again, neither word really means much without some additional specification.

Mr. Mooney,

Thank you for your answer.

A. Hi,
Strike is used for the activation of the surface.And strike plating deposits thin layer of plating.
