The surface of the faucet is generally made of three layers of electroplating, the first layer is copper sulfate, the second layer is nickel plating, and the third layer is chrome plating. There is also to see whether there are blisters, damage, burrs, uneven coating, leakage plating and other phenomena on the appearance. Check whether the mirror effect is good or not.
