Badge customization: How many years does the metal badge not change color after electroplating?

Take gold as an example, real gold is expensive, and we will electroplate real gold only when the customer specifically states that it needs to be used. Other badge customizations are generally electroplated with ordinary gold, which is neither easy to oxidize and fade like imitation gold, nor expensive like real gold. There are generally three reasons for the fading of metal badges: First, the bottom layer is not good, the gold plating should be silver-plated, and the copper-plating or nickel-plating will change color because the copper or nickel will diffuse to the gold layer. The second is that the gold-plated layer is too thin and too thin. The third is not to wash thoroughly with pure water.

Therefore, whether a product can be used for a long time is not only a question of product quality itself, but also whether the user is properly maintained. Some customers come up and ask if it will never fade, then we can't guarantee that it will never fade, it's just a matter of time.

As long as the metal badge is used properly and the collection method is correct, a qualified metal badge is guaranteed not to fade within 2 years. Some customers say that it will be ugly if the color fades after two years, or will it be scrapped. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the sterling silver and pure gold commemorative coins designated by the state will oxidize and fade, not to mention ordinary metal badges.
