Electroplating is a technique that uses an electrical current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a surface. It is widely used across industries to enhance material properties, such as durability, ...

Surface plating is widely used to repair or salvage critical components in the marine industry. As many components need disassembly, the repair process is typically carried out when the ship is in dry ...

Pure nickel is very hard, ductile, shiny, resistant to corrosion, and has a silvery-white color. Thanks to these extraordinary properties, nickel is often utilized in surface engineering and coating ...

Here’s a PCB fabrication process that makes us envious. It’s pretty darn close to fab-house quality at home. [Cpirius] is using a CNC mill and through hole plating technique to produce his ...

Historically, electroplating has been used to add a thin layer of a precious metal—typically gold—to an electrical connector to improve corrosion resistance. However, recent collaborations between ...

Electroplating intermediates refer to a class of fine chemicals used as electroplating additives. Unlike the salt used in the plating production process, the electroplating intermediate is an additive ...

Editor’s note: Steven Bales is president of Bales Mold Service Inc., a supplier of engineered coatings and finishes. When a customer is hot for a job—and that’s most customers these ...
