Nickel anodes for Nickel free plating?

March 3, 2008

As we are in the jewelry industries some European country's request for nickel free plating, We got down nickel free plating chemical from a reputed establishment.The inquiry is they told us to use nickel anode that really worries us because its back again nickel in the bath.Please educate me on this.

Your concern is totally valid. You should not use nickel anodes. Perhaps neither their solution until you know exactly what they sold to you. G. Marrufo-Mexico

Hi There,

Check with the supplier whether they gave you white bronze, or Palladium bath, there is no question of using Nickel Anode, it has to be Graphite or Carbon insoluble anodes.
