Application Notes
- The use of stainless steel anodes is strongly discouraged for most plating processes.
- Plating rates are based on a reference area continuously covered by the swab during operation.
Application Instructions (Beginner to Professional)
1. Surface Preparation (Critical Step)
- Thoroughly clean the surface (remove grease, oil, dirt)
- Activate the surface (acid dip / activator)
- Rinse with deionized water
Proper preparation ensures maximum adhesion and durability.
2. Brush Plating (Selective Gold Plating)
Parameters:
- Voltage: 4 – 8 V
- Movement: steady, circular
- continuous electrical contact
Process:
- Apply electrolyte to plating brush
- Connect workpiece as cathode (negative pole)
- Move brush (anode) evenly across surface
- Maintain constant movement
- Stop once desired thickness is reached
Ideal for precision work, repairs, and small areas
3. Swab Plating (Controlled Application)
Parameters:
- Voltage: 5 – 10 V
- Pressure: light to moderate
- Movement: uniform, overlapping
Process:
- Soak swab with electrolyte
- Apply evenly across surface
- Use overlapping strokes
- Repeat for thicker layers
Ideal for medium surfaces and controlled coatings
4. Bath Electroplating (Full Immersion Process)
Parameters:
- Voltage: 2 – 6 V
- Current density: 0.1 – 1 A/dm²
- Time: 30 seconds to several minutes
Process:
- Fill plating bath with electrolyte
- Connect workpiece as cathode
- Position anode correctly
- Immerse workpiece
- Monitor current and time
- Rinse and dry after plating
Ideal for uniform coatings and professional applications
Important Process Guidelines
- Always work on a clean, grease-free surface
- Avoid interruptions during plating
- Maintain stable temperature and voltage
- Prevent contamination of the electrolyte
- Use proper rinsing between steps
Professional Tips
- Pre-plating (nickel or palladium) improves adhesion
- Apply multiple thin layers instead of one thick layer
- Monitor bath composition regularly
- Increase voltage gradually for optimal deposition
Applications
- Jewelry plating and restoration
- Decorative gold coating
- Electrical contacts and precision parts
- Workshop and industrial use
