Electroplating Ceramic Surface

In most cases this process will require an electroless nickel coating initially to promote adhesion of an additional metal finish.

Electroplating ceramic surfaces and glass process. Or comment will restore it to the current topics page. Plating has been done for hundreds of years.

We have begun to notice corrosion. The surface coating over these substrate are in general done with electroless plating is there any possible way to. Other high temperature finishes for aircraft. Almost any metal can be used with a ceramic substrate and electroplating.

Electroplating ceramic surfaces vs. The present invention relates to a process for wet metal plating of ceramic substrates. Ceramic substrate like alumina and magnesium aluminate spinel are non conduting. Electroplating ceramics or plastics provides benefits such as making the surface electrically conductive improving strength and durability increasing corrosion resistance and making a dull substrate look brighter.

Hi i am an aerospace engineer that works on older cargo aircraft. It is essentially composed of a combined chemical pretreatment of the ceramic surface for chemical metallization without external electric current in such a manner that within only a single pretreatment step. More particularly this invention relates to the wet chemical copper plating of al 2 o 3 ceramics. Plating is a surface covering in which a metal is deposited on a conductive surface.

Electroplating is a preferred finishing technique that deposits a metal coating onto the substrate. Beyond our expertise in microelectronic and ceramic plating services we anticipate future needs and are continually developing new products and value added services for our customers. Plating is used to decorate objects for corrosion inhibition to improve solderability to harden to improve wearability to reduce friction to improve paint adhesion to alter conductivity to improve ir reflectivity. It is also critical for modern technology.
