Features: This book consists of two main parts. The first part elaborates on the mechanism of action of electroplating additives, including the adsorption of additives and their reduction at the cathode, their influence on the brightness of the plating layer, their effect on the leveling of the plating layer, their impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the plating layer, as well as the theory of bright electroplating. The second part discusses the evolution of pretreatment before electroplating and the additives used for various metals in electroplating. It covers the structure, properties, and classification of additives used for different plating processes, as well as the electroplating processes for various metals and practical formulations of their additives. This book is suitable for all production, teaching, and research personnel engaged in electroplating and chemical plating.
