Anode pad / tampon / anode sleeve / fuzzy sleeve / replacement fabric pad puffy from Betzmann Galvanik.    This puffy fabric pad / anode sleeve or also called tampon is absolutely recommended for all plating processes. Optimally suitable for all coatings and electrolytes.  The coating of larger areas is also quite fast with this pad.   The insertion hole is larger than the electrode and therefore it happens that the moist  anode pad slips off. Therefore, fix the pad on the electrode with a small rubber band.

High-Frequency Pulse Plating (HFPP) – What It Is High-Frequency Pulse Plating is a modern electrical deposition method used in brush/tampon plating in which the electrical current is not delivered as a continuous DC output, but rather as rapidly pulsed high-frequency impulses. Typical pulse ranges: • frequency: approx. 15–40 kHz • pulse duration: microseconds to milliseconds • waveform: usually rectangular/square pulses • current delivery: modulated duty cycle for controlled metal ion transfer ––––––––––––––––––––––– How It Works – Core Mechanism Instead of a constant ion flow (continuous DC), the bath/gel or wet pad receives a sequence of micro-bursts of energy. Between pulses, short relaxation phases allow: • ion diffusion back to the surface • local replenishment of metal ions • reduction of hydrogen buildup • significantly reduced polarization effects • lower thermal load on the substrate The result is faster, cleaner, and denser deposition with lower defect rates. ––––––––––––––––––––––– Technical Benefits for Brush / Tampon Galvanic Plating Compared to conventional DC: Higher deposition quality – smoother grain structure – higher micro-hardness – tighter nano-crystalline layer growth – improved adhesion on difficult substrates Reduced burning & edge over-plating Pulse energy limits local overheating and current crowding. Lower porosity & improved density Noticeably fewer pinholes, voids, and inclusions. Superior micro-distribution Improved throwing power, better coverage in edges/corners. Lower hydrogen embrittlement Especially relevant for high-strength steels or spring alloys. More controlled thickness build Enables precision restoration, small-area repair, and decorative finishing. Improved plating speed Shorter process times and higher metal utilization in brush plating. ––––––––––––––––––––––– Advantages Compared to Conventional DC Brush Plating (Summary) ParameterContinuous DCHF Pulse PlatingGrain structurecoarsefine / nano-crystallineAdhesionmediumhighPorosityhigherlowHydrogen effectsstrongerreducedEdge burningcommonminimizedLayer hardnessstandardhigherAccuracymediumexcellentThermal loadhigherreducedSpeedmediumhigher ––––––––––––––––––––––– Application Relevance HF Pulse Plating is particularly advantageous in: • restoration & repair plating • selective / localized deposition • precious metal finishing (gold, rhodium, platinum, silver) • chrome-on-chrome touch-up • aerospace & automotive components • instrument, medical, watch, and jewelry plating • high-value refurbishment and micro-restoration ––––––––––––––––––––––– Why It’s a Good Fit for Tampon/Brush Plating Brush plating inherently suffers from: • electrolyte starvation • small plating zones • limited agitation • high local current density Pulse technology compensates for these constraints and increases layer quality to near bath-plating standards while preserving the selectivity advantages of brush plating.
