Electroplating Ceramic Surface

More particularly this invention relates to the wet chemical copper plating of al 2 o 3 ceramics.

Electroplating ceramic surface.

We have begun to notice corrosion. Almost any metal can be used with a ceramic substrate and electroplating. 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. A discussion started in 2000 and continuing through 2020 adding your q.

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

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.

Other high temperature finishes for aircraft. Ceramic substrate like alumina and magnesium aluminate spinel are non conduting. Electroplating ceramic surfaces and glass process. The present invention relates to a process for wet metal plating of ceramic substrates.

Plating is a surface covering in which a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. Or comment will restore it to the current topics page. Electroplating is a preferred finishing technique that deposits a metal coating onto the substrate. Hi i am an aerospace engineer that works on older cargo aircraft.

Plating has been done for hundreds of years. It is also critical for modern technology.
