Hi, Imran. Can you please tell us what plating you presently do so we can explain the incremental differences? Plating on aluminum involves zincating, followed by cyanide copper plating or alkaline electroless nickel plating. Then you might do acid copper plating followed by the nickel plating. Any specifications or expectations to meet? Thanks.
