The Electroplating Handbook

By Harriet W Brown

Electroplating is more than putting metal on a surface. To produce reliable, specification-ready finishes, you need to understand the chemistry, equipment, process controls, and troubleshooting decisions working together behind every successful deposit.The Electroplating Handbook gives you a structured foundation in electrochemical metal finishing while connecting theory directly to industrial practice. Whether you are learning the field, working on a plating line, studying surface engineering, or strengthening your process knowledge, this handbook helps you understand not only what to do-but why plating processes behave the way they do.
Inside, you'll learn how to: Build a practical understanding of electrochemistry, Faraday's laws, current density, polarization, and throwing powerPrepare steel, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc alloys, copper alloys, and other substrates for reliable adhesionUnderstand plating tanks, racks, barrels, rectifiers, anodes, filtration, agitation, and bath controlWork through major zinc, nickel, chromium, copper, tin, precious-metal, and electroless plating processesDiagnose pitting, blistering, peeling, burning, roughness, dullness, and other common plating defectsUnderstand coating-thickness, adhesion, porosity, hardness, and wear testingExplore wastewater treatment, hazardous-material handling, specifications, quality systems, and modern industry practicesOrganized into 29 chapters and six progressive parts, the book moves from electrochemical fundamentals to real production problems and advanced surface-finishing techniques.If you want one comprehensive electroplating handbook that connects metal finishing science with the realities of industrial process control, add this practical reference to your technical library today.
