Brush electroplating has several advantages over tank plating, including portability, the ability to plate items that for some reason cannot be tank plated (one application was the plating of portions of very large decorative support columns in a building restoration), low or no masking requirements, and comparatively low plating solution ...
Excluding the continuous strip plating industry, copper is the second most commonly-plated metal after nickel. [6] Copper electroplating offers a number of advantages over other plating processes, including low metal cost, high-conductivity and high-ductility bright finish, and high plating efficiency.
LIGA consists of three main processing steps: lithography, electroplating, and molding. There are two main LIGA-fabrication technologies, X-Ray LIGA, which uses X-rays produced by a synchrotron to create high-aspect-ratio structures, and UV LIGA, a more accessible method which uses ultraviolet light to create structures with relatively low aspect ratios.
Plating is a finishing process in which a metal is deposited on a surface. Plating has been done for hundreds of years; it is also critical for modern technology. Plating is used to decorate objects, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, to improve IR reflectivity, for ...
Avoid plating items that oxide quickly after being cut, such as artichokes, apples, pears, and avocados. They can lose their vibrancy and appeal that will make your plate of food look delicious.
A 17-year-old cheerleader from California was stabbed to death just days before Christmas — and police say they've arrested an "acquaintance" in connection with the case. On Friday, Dec. 20, at ...
Stock trades were mixed as investors watched for key economic data this week. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq managed to push slightly higher for another record close.
Electroplating is a common surface-treatment technique. It involves bonding a thin layer of another metal such as gold , silver , chromium or zinc to the surface of the product by hydrolysis. It is used to reduce corrosion, create abrasion resistance and improve the product's aesthetic appearance.
