Abstract

A method of forming a metal strip having a raised side uniformly plated with a layer of a different metal or metal alloy, preferably a precious metal, wherein the plating metal layer is applied to the flat strip and thereafter the strip is folded lengthwise to raise the plated side of the strip in order to obtain the desired profile. The method allows to apply the plating layer on a flat surface which can be easily done by known processes, the strip being bent together with the layer to form said raised uniformly plated side.
