Abstract: Disclosed is an electroplated product, comprising a base material and an electroplated metal layer including a copper layer on the surface of the base material, wherein the electroplated metal layer further includes a nickel substitute metal layer on the copper layer and the nickel substitute metal is Cu—Sn alloy, Ru, Rh, Pd, or an alloy composed of 2, 3, or 4 elements selected from Ru, Rh, Pd, and Co. A method for preparing the same is also disclosed. The metal electroplated layer of said electroplated product is free of nickel, and therefore will not cause nickel irritation on skin. Furthermore, the electroplated layer also has the advantages of nickel coating, including good smoothness, brightness, wearing resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal shock resistance, etc.
