Choosing the right electrode
Our large selection of suitable electrodes makes coating easier for you. You will get optimal results and few disturbing factors if you use the recommended electrodes.
We carry stick electrodes for pad electroplating and bath electroplating and also plate electrodes for bath electroplating.
The graphite electrode is a very helpful support for a wide variety of coatings. It does color the pad and the liquid somewhat, but this is not a problem at all for the electrolyte and the plating.
The platinum electrode coats at the highest level like the graphite rod, but scatters the metal much deeper into the layer and builds up very thick layers.
The big advantage with the nickel silver and copper electrode is that you can work with less material and less time when plating.
