The 1986 AES Gold Medal Award was given to J.C. Farmer and H.R. (Rudy) Johnson for the Best Paper appearing in Plating and Surface Finishing in 1985. Their work presents important work on electrochemical impedance measurements, then a new technique in analyzing how plating baths and their additives work.
This paper is a fine example of the multitude of ways that surface finishing can be brought to bear in process development. In this case, a combination of processes is applied to large scale hydrogen production.
The 1971 Carl E. Huessner Gold Medal Award was given to J. Cote and co-workers for the Best Paper appearing in Plating or the AES Technical Proceedings in 1970. Actually a two-part paper beginning in 1969, the second installment of the paper from 1970 is republished here in a series on the AES/AESF/NASF Best Paper Awards. Their work presents very important work on how the anodizing process reacts with the other materials alloyed in with commercial aluminum grades.
Results show that the novel organic additive reduced the sparking voltage and provided a relatively smoother surface.
