Abstract:
Non-cyanide, alkaline electroplating baths for bright zinc plating containing quarternized polymeric condensates of alkylene polyamines and epihalohydrins in admixture with alkdehyde type brightners and mercapto substituted heterocyclic compounds capable of producing bright deposits over a broad current density range.
Abstract:
Non-cyanide, alkaline electroplating baths for bright zinc plating containing quarternized polymeric condensates of alkylene polyamines and 1,3-dihalo-2-propanol as grain refiners preferably in admixture with aldehyde type brighteners and mercapto substituted heterocyclic compounds capable of producing the bright, fine grained deposits over a broad current density range.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR ELECTROPLATING COPPER ON A BASE MEMBER COMPRISING APPLYING TO THE MEMBER AN ESSENTIALLY SULFURFREE AQUEOUS ALKALINE CYANIDE PLATING BATH COMRPISING A SOURCE OF COPPER, AN ACETYLENIC ALCOHOL, A COMPLEXING AGENT AND A HYDROXY ACID. CURRENT IS CAUSED TO FLOW THROUGH THE MEMBER WHILE IN CONTACT WITH THE PLATING BATH FOR A PERIOD OF 20-60 SECONDS TO ELECTROPLATE COPPER ON SAID MEMBER. THEREAFTER A DEPLATING ELECTRIC CURRENT IS CAUSED TO FLOW THROUGH SAID MEMBER FOR A PERIOD OF 6-20 SECONDS TO DEPLATE A PART OF THE COPPER PLATED ON THE MEMBER. ALTERNATE PLATING AND DEPLATING CYCLES ARE CONTINUED UNTIL A DESIRED THICKNESS OF COPPER HAS BEEN DEPOSITED ON THE MEMBER.
Abstract:
AN AQUEOUS ACIDIC BATH SOLUTION FOR ELECTROPLATING NICKEL INCLUDES AT LEAST ONE NICKEL SALT AS A SOURCE OF NICKEL AND, AS A BRIGHTENER, A COMBINATION OF AN OXYETHYLENATED SULFOLENE COMPOUND AND A WATER-SOLUBLE ALLYL SULFONATE IN AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A BRIGHT NICKEL ELECTRODEPOSIT.
Abstract:
A conductive workpiece is simultaneously machined and electroplated by using a rotatable maching tool against the surface of the workpiece being electroplated and by delivering the electroplating solution thereto under high current density. The electroplating solution comprises an aqueous solution containing one of bronze, cobalt and chromium.
