Coatings for Aluminum Busbar

What coating and post-treatments are required for aluminum busbar and joint aluminum busbar

Thanks for your help.

Often the whole bus bar is electroplated with copper first. Then the whole bar or just the ends may be tin plated or silver plated, or joined with no plated surfaces, just a joint compound.
