Mechanical plating
Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes we put a shiny covering on our toys or jewelry to make them look pretty? Well, that's kind of like what mechanical plating does, but on a bigger scale for bigger things.
Mechanical plating is a way to put a protective or decorative coating on metals. Let's say we want to cover a metal part with a layer of zinc to protect it from rust or corrosion. We can do this by putting the metal part into a big container with some zinc powder and some special balls that look like rocks.
Then, we turn the container and the balls start bouncing around and hitting the metal part, almost like they're giving it a little massage. This makes the zinc powder stick to the metal part and cover it all over. It's like a big hug from the powder that keeps the metal safe from getting rusty.
So, that's what mechanical plating is, it's like giving your metal toys or parts a special hug with a powder that keeps them shiny and protected. Cool, huh?
