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.
