Diamond Composite Plating: Smart, Proven Process Tips

Summary for diamond composite plating Discussion

Composite plating for diamond is described as a co-deposition problem rather than a special standalone plating chemistry. Patel Bhavin asked what chemicals and process are used for diamond composite plating. In response, the answerer explained that if you already know electroplating, the key is to keep the diamond particles in suspension so they co-deposit and become encapsulated in the metal layer. The reply points to Jack Dini’s book, *Electrodeposition: The Materials Science of Coatings and Substrates*, for a brief discussion, and notes that a literature search will turn up many articles and patents on the topic. It also suggests that a fully developed process can be licensed from companies such as Surface Technology. The thread does not give a specific bath formula or step-by-step recipe.
