Where can I get some information about training programs for electroplaters? Our company seems to have a problem with finding individuals who have some basic understanding of the plating process.
We are doing nickel electroforming on copper molds. Before plating, we etch the copper molds using phosphoric acid. We have discovered that we have phosphorus contamination in our nickel plating solution. Is there a way to remove this contamination?
We have a number of jobs that require making steel parts with very tight tolerances on the fit. We are thinking that zinc plating/chemical conversion coating might not be the best solution for us. Are there other materials out there that might give us more consistency on our tolerances and thickness?
Some of the information that comes with the jewelry products we import from Spain states that they are coated with a gold IPG material. Why use an IPG coating?
