electroplating-process

A technical guide to acid chloride zinc plating. Understand its superior brightness, high plating speed, and direct plating capabilities onto cast iron, contrasted with its throwing power limitations.

A comprehensive comparison between rack and barrel electroplating. Learn the technical differences, pros and cons, cost implications, and how to choose the right method based on part geometry, size, and tolerance requirements.

A complete guide to barrel electroplating — the process that makes bulk plating of small parts economically viable. Covers barrel geometry, current flow physics, loading calculations, and what parts are and are not suitable.

A complete guide to alkaline non-cyanide zinc electroplating — covering bath chemistry, throwing power advantages, and when to choose it over acid chloride zinc for industrial applications.

A deep technical guide to acid copper electroplating — covering bath chemistry, current density, throwing power, and when to choose acid copper over alkaline copper for industrial components.
