Beschreibungen/Notizen

• How various electroplating test cells can be advantageously used to study plating process variables is described. Test cells considered include the Hull, bent cathode, uniform current, halfbox and Haring--Blum. Each cell configuration has its own advantages, but generally they can be used to: detect contaminating metals: adjust catalyst percentages; determine brightener additions; and evaluate the operating current density and bath throwing power. The operation of each test cell is described and methods of evaluating test results, when Cr plating or Ni plating, are given. 10 ref.--G.P.K.
