After the tube is formed and shaped, it enters a multi-stage electroplating line. First, the raw copper surface is degreased and acid-activated — two steps most budget manufacturers skip, and the reason their plating peels. Then a base copper strike layer is deposited, giving the subsequent nickel layer a molecularly bonded foundation to grip. The nickel plating itself is applied at a controlled thickness of 5–15 microns, forming a dense, corrosion-resistant shell. The outermost layer — a bright chrome or gold finish — is what you see and feel: hard, reflective, and immune to the tarnishing that makes aluminum ferrules look cheap within months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce the bristle knot is set inside the ferrule, the tube is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003edouble-crimped\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: two precisely aligned compression passes on opposite sides of the ferrule, creating a mechanical lock around the hair bundle that glue alone could never achieve.
