Sir
I want your help on the matter " how to electroplate lead on pcb" . it will be a great help if you describe the electro plating process of lead on copper such as the electrolyte, catalysts used and the voltage rating etc

We can't write new textbooks in response to internet queries, Sooraj, we only point out existing ones. Coombes' classic Prnted Circuits Handbook [link is to info about book at Amazon] may be what you want. But I'm not clear on the question. Why do you intend to plate lead on the board, and where (on the traces, as an etch resist for work in process). You do know that lead-free is the current standard? Good luck.
