Intro to electroplating

I am looking for a simplistic discussion of electroplating:

What it is, why electricity is needed, and what the major uses are. Pictures a plus. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hi Pattie. A quickie intro can be found in our FAQs or at www.nasf.org/finishingbasics.html.

For more detail, see our list of "must-have" handbooks and recommended journals, or order a CD-ROM on the subject from A.E.S.F. at https://www.nasf.org/bookstore/home2.cfm?ProductID=267&do=detail.

Ed. note: www.nasf.org is the valid URL for the National Association for Surface Finishing website, but we don't know whether the finishing basics booklet or the CD-ROM is available anymore as those full URLs no longer work.

Sorry! Finishing.com is temporarily Read-Only.
Ted Mooney is retiring but I have several offers to take it over.
We're working hard to make sure we find it the best new home.
