Using a suitable plating unit and pen electrode, individual areas can be coated without immersing the entire workpiece in a plating bath.The specified voltage range is 3–5 volts. The appropriate setting depends on the plating unit, electrode, workpiece surface and operating conditions.Brush Plating ApplicationsIn brush plating, the electrolyte is applied to the prepared workpiece using a suitable applicator or swab saturated with electrolyte. This method allows selective gold plating of larger areas and complex components that cannot be fully immersed in a plating bath.The stated deposition rate of approximately 0.5 µm per minute refers to a test area that remains continuously covered by the plating swab. Actual deposition rates may vary with the surface area, application technique and operating conditions.Tank Plating ApplicationsTank plating is suitable for coating workpieces that can be fully or partially immersed in the electrolyte. It is particularly useful when an entire component or its accessible surfaces need to be plated.Uniform results require suitable surface preparation, appropriate electrode positioning and process parameters adapted to the workpiece. The specified operating temperature is 14–25 °C.Hard Gold with High Deposit HardnessThe specified deposit hardness of 220–230 HV is an important characteristic of this electrolyte. According to the product data, the deposited layer contains 99.9% gold.The term hard gold refers to the product characteristic stated in the manufacturer's specifications. Actual hardness and wear resistance also depend on plating conditions and the structure of the deposited layer.The maximum specified coating thickness is 5 µm. The actual deposition depends on factors such as plating time, power supply, electrode configuration and workpiece geometry.Electrodes and Process NotesPlatinum or carbon electrodes are specified for this electrolyte. Stainless steel anodes are expressly not recommended for most of the intended plating processes.The reference values for deposition rate and cathode efficiency apply at 3.5 volts using a platinum electrode. They should not automatically be applied to other electrode materials or assumed to apply identically to all three plating methods.Storage and Shelf LifeStore the electrolyte protected from direct sunlight. The specified shelf life is one year.Hard Gold Electrolyte from Betzmann GalvanikThe Hard Gold Electrolyte 8 g/L is a versatile solution for pen plating, tank plating and brush plating.

It is suitable for pen plating, tank plating and brush/tampon plating.In addition to decorative gold plating, Gold Flash can be used as a thin galvanic intermediate layer or adhesion layer for subsequent coatings, provided that the base material, surface pretreatment and subsequent plating process are compatible.Gold Flash may also be used as part of coordinated plating processes for producing different gold colours, including white gold, rose gold and green gold. The electrolytes and mixing ratios required for these applications must be appropriately matched.Key BenefitsGold plating electrolyte containing 2 g/L goldSuitable for pen plating, tank plating and brush/tampon platingDesigned for thin decorative gold coatings and replatingPotential use as a galvanic adhesion layer or intermediate layer for subsequent coatingsSuitable for compatible metal surfaces and multilayer plating systemsCan be incorporated into coordinated processes for different gold coloursGold content of the deposited layer: 99.9%, according to the product specificationsDeposition rate of approximately 0.12 µm/min at 5.0 V using a platinum electrodeSpecified current density: 0.1 A/cm²Deposit hardness: 180–190 HVStated shelf life: more than 3 yearsTechnical SpecificationsPropertySpecificationProduct nameGold Flash / GoldflashGold concentration2 g/LVoltage range4.0–6.0 VOperating temperature14–25 °CCurrent density0.1 A/cm²Electrode materialPlatinum or carbonGold content of deposit99.9%Deposition rateApprox. 0.12 µm/min at 5.0 V with a platinum electrodeDeposit hardness180–190 HVDeposit density19.3 g/cm³Internal stressLow to mediumStorageProtect from sunlightShelf lifeMore than 3 yearsPen Plating ApplicationsPen plating is suitable for selectively coating small areas, edges, individual component sections and repair spots. Using a suitable plating unit and pen electrode, specific areas can be plated without immersing the entire workpiece in a plating bath.The specified voltage range is 4.0–6.0 V. The appropriate setting depends on the equipment, electrode, surface condition and process parameters.Brush/Tampon Plating ApplicationsIn brush or tampon plating, the electrolyte is applied to the prepared workpiece using a suitable applicator saturated with electrolyte. This method allows selective plating of larger areas and is particularly useful for components that cannot be fully immersed in a plating bath.The specified deposition rate of approximately 0.12 µm/min was measured at 5.0 V using a platinum electrode on a sample area continuously covered by the applicator. Actual deposition rates may vary depending on the surface geometry, applicator movement and operating conditions.Tank Plating ApplicationsTank plating is suitable for coating compatible workpieces that can be fully or partially immersed in the electrolyte. It can be used for decorative finishes and selected applications in multilayer electroplating systems.For a uniform coating, appropriate surface preparation, electrode positioning and suitable process parameters are essential. The specified operating temperature is 14–25 °C.Gold Flash as an Adhesion Layer for Subsequent CoatingsGold Flash can be used as a thin galvanic intermediate layer to provide a suitable foundation for subsequent coating processes. Depending on the base material and the following plating process, the gold layer may serve as an adhesion layer between the workpiece and a subsequent electroplated coating.The electrolyte is intended for use on compatible metal surfaces. Adhesion depends on appropriate pretreatment, a clean and sufficiently activated surface, and correct coordination of the individual plating steps.Gold Flash can therefore form part of a multilayer electroplating process. Suitability must be evaluated for the specific base metal and subsequent coating.A Basis for Different Gold ColoursGold Flash may be incorporated into suitable plating processes to produce different gold colours, including:White gold: light, silvery-white gold finishesRose gold: warm, reddish-gold finishesGreen gold: greenish-yellow gold finishesThe final colour depends on the composition of the coating electrolytes and the plating process. Gold Flash may be used as part of a coordinated process for achieving the desired finish.Important: Different electrolytes must not be mixed directly without first verifying their chemical compatibility. Follow the relevant manufacturer specifications and validated formulations when producing specific gold colours.Thin Decorative Gold CoatingsGold Flash is designed for thin decorative gold deposits and selective replating. According to the product specifications, the deposited layer has a gold content of 99.9% and a hardness of 180–190 HV.The achievable coating thickness and final result depend on factors including plating time, power supply, electrode configuration, surface condition and the selected plating method.The specified current density is 0.1 A/cm². In practical applications, the appropriate current density may depend on the particular process and plating method.Electrodes and Process NotesPlatinum or carbon electrodes are specified for this electrolyte. The use of stainless-steel anodes is expressly discouraged for most plating processes.The stated deposition rate refers to a sample area continuously covered by the plating applicator. This reference value should not automatically be applied to every workpiece geometry or plating method.Storage and Shelf LifeProtect Gold Flash Electrolyte from sunlight during storage.
