  2. Electroplating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroplating

    The Norddeutsche Affinerie in Hamburg was the first modern electroplating plant starting its production in 1876. [ 23 ] As the science of electrochemistry grew, its relationship to electroplating became understood and other types of non-decorative metal electroplating were developed.

  3. Copper electroplating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_electroplating

    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.

  4. Thin film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_film

    Plating relies on liquid precursors, often a solution of water with a salt of the metal to be deposited. Some plating processes are driven entirely by reagents in the solution (usually for noble metals), but by far the most commercially important process is electroplating.

  5. Electrogalvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrogalvanization

    Dedicated to plating at high speed in plants where the shortest plating time is critical (i.e. steel coil or pipe that runs at up to 200 m/min. The baths contain zinc sulfate and chloride to the maximum solubility level. Boric acid may be used as a pH buffer and to reduce the burning effect at high current densities.

  6. Electrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

    There are various important electrochemical processes in both nature and industry, like the coating of objects with metals or metal oxides through electrodeposition, the addition (electroplating) or removal (electropolishing) of thin layers of metal from an object's surface, [33] and the detection of alcohol in drunk drivers through the redox ...

  7. Plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plating

    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 ...

  8. Metallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgy

    A simplified diagram of electroplating copper on a metal. Electroplating is a chemical 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. This is done by selecting the coating material electrolyte solution, which is the material that is going to ...

  9. Copper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper

    Copper plating and copper sheathing were widely used to protect the under-water hulls of ships, a technique pioneered by the British Admiralty in the 18th century. [119] The Norddeutsche Affinerie in Hamburg was the first modern electroplating plant, starting its production in 1876. [120]
