Summary for micro gold plating Discussion
Micro gold plating is the focus keyphrase here, but the thread shows that the term itself was not clearly defined. Manoj Kumar asked for magazines, journals, and books to learn the technical aspects of micro gold plating. Michael Brewington of Fin-Tec, Inc. replied by questioning what was meant by “micro gold plating,” suggesting the phrase may not be a standard technical term. A later answer, signed only “A.,” said that “Micro Plating” is likely just a trade name, comparing it to Coca Cola or Windows. The practical takeaway is that the discussion does not provide specific reading recommendations or technical guidance; instead, it warns that the term may be ambiguous or proprietary, so the first step is to clarify exactly what process or product is being referenced before searching for literature.
Q. I would like to know about the micro gold plating. Kindly suggest me some good magazine and journals as well as books available on this topic. I am keen to learn about technical aspect of micro gold plating.

A. Hi,
Are you looking for a higher thickness in gold by electroplating. The measuring unit of the plated gold thickness is defined either by Micro-meter or Micro-inch. There are several types of micro-gold electroplating solution formulas, they are not the flash gold types definitely. And it depends what is the thickness and gold colors that one wants to obtain from the micro-gold electroplating process.
The conventional gold flash chemicals based plating solution will make you lose a great fortune if you put gold flash on the brass alloys based metals.
And beware of ions/atoms migration between two different metals.
Look for a credited chemical supplier.
