Along with the development of high-end manufacturing and growing industry, electroplating has become an effective way to add metal finishes to various products, such as PCB boards, jewelry, sculptures, figurines, and art pieces.
It is a process that uses an electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a thin coherent metallic coating on the surface of negatively charged objects. The cathode would be the part to be plated, and the anode would be either a sacrificial anode or an inert anode, normally where the electrochemical oxidation reaction occurs. The solution contains one or more metal salts serves as the electrolyte to facilitate the flow of electricity.
Our insoluble titanium electrodes sintered with mixed metal oxides have gained widespread acceptance as the anode materials for commercial electroplating of gold, silver, platinum, chromium, cadmium, brass, copper, nickel, zinc, etc.
