Pulse plated silver  

+++

Hi,

We are a Finish plating shop. One of our services is to silver plate rf-filter bodies. Normally we use inert anodes to have silver about 6µm into deep holes. Now we have a bit too difficult filter body and I am planning to use pulse plating to get desired thickness.
The base material is diecast aluminium and electroless nickel 10µm on it.

My question:
Does anyone have detailed information how to start or where could I have a copy of article (from AESF): Title: "Optimization of Throwing Power in Pulse Reversal Plating from a Silver Cyanide Solution" Authors: P. Leisner, P.T. Tang & G. Bech-Nielsen Reference: AESF SUR/FIN'94, Indianapolis (1994)

Thank you and best regards,

Hi, Petri. The article will be available from www.namf.org, although you may need to buy the proceedings of the whole session rather than just the single paper. Good luck.
