Electroplating bath
Plating or Electroplating is a versatile process that coats surfaces for a wide range of common applications, including the trim on cars and vans, and bathroom taps & fittings (faucets). This coating method is widely used because of its flexibility and because of its resistance to wear and corrosion.
Gold, silver, chromium, copper, nickel, tin, and zinc are typically used for the coating and can be applied to a vast number of surfaces, both metal and non-metal alike.
The results and advantages of Electroplating are similar to those of Electroless Nickel Plating, but employ a different process. Electroplating utilizes electricity to apply the coating to the surface.
Electroplating Thickness Measurement Gauges
All Oxford Instruments' gauges are designed to provide the highest measurement accuracy for your applications.
Electroplating Thickness Measurement by X-ray fluorescence
CMI900 and X-Strata980 provide non-destructive, rapid composition analysis, as well as thickness measurement of single and multiple metallic coating layers on a wide variety of surfaces. CMI900 and X-Strata980 are cost-effective production and quality control tools, enabling increased productivity (less component rejects), and helping to minimise production costs (less material wastage).
