How to plate onto Titanium

-----

I NEED TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON ELECTROPLATING PURE GOLD AND PALLADIUM ONTO PURE TITANIUM. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE TO CLEAN TITANIUM AND YOU HAVE TO PROTECT THE SURFACE FROM OXIDIZING AGAIN BEFORE ELECTROPLATING. CAN ANY ONE HELP WITH A PROPOSED CLEANING PROCESS AND PLATING CYCLES. THANK YOU

ROY CONIGLIONE

ASM International's "Metals Handbook--Volume 5: Surface Engineering has an outstanding chapter on how to plate onto titanium and other hard to plate metals.
