· PROCESS OF ELECTROPLATING. Metal is dissolved and then deposited onto a surface using an electric current in the electroplating process. The four main parts of the procedure are as follows: ANODE - The metal that will make up the plating is the anode, or positively charged electrode, in the circuit. CATHODE - The component in an …

view moreThe ASTM B488 gold plating standard applies to engineering applications. Gold coatings that comply with this spec typically are used to increase the substrate's resistance to corrosion and to prevent tarnishing. The classes and types under this specification mirror those of the MIL-DTL-45204D gold plating standard.

The chosen method could involve rack plating, where larger parts are affixed to metal racks which are placed inside the tank containing the plating bath. The parts remain stationary during plating.

view moreElectroless Nickel Plating can be a simple and effective way of applying a nickel plate over steel, iron, copper, brass, zincated aluminum and copper alloys. Electroless Nickel is applied by heating the nickel bath to 195°F, and then immersing the part to be plated into the bath for 15-60 minutes, depending on the desired thickness.
