Brush Plating 101 Anode Material
Posted by admin on September 22nd, 2009 at 10:40am
Has anyone experimented with either graphite/carbon anodes or Platinized titanium anodes for brush gold plating?
I’ve machined up few solid 316 stainless anodes that seem to work excellent for stripping and activating.
(I’m also using 2 different sewn polyester anode covers I make myself: 1. felt and 1. woolly material)
The woolly ones work better for conductivity in the nooks and crannies.
When it comes to gold plating the anode covers seem to become progressively contaminated from the inside eventually compromising the gold plating process. Any help, opinions, experience?
Thanks,
Eric
