To any whom it may concern:
I am a consultant.I want to prepare a manual for a company about Electroplating of chromium or other metals on some of the titanium alloys in sphere, cylinder, hemisphere shape. Would you please help me in any fields?(references,books,difficulties related to plating on these shapes,....)

Plating on titanium of any shape is not simple. If you do not have hands on experience in this specific area, you probably should not be a consultant for this job.

Mohammed,
It's very difficult to plate on titanium, because titanium will immediately oxidize in the air. I will recommend you to read follow from the literature and try to understand the problem whit it. Maybe we can take a discuss after that. ASTM B481, M:Thoma Plating on titanium Alloys 850716. MTU Motoren-and Turbinen-Union munchen GmbH, M Thoma Plating on titanium. plating and surface finishing.
