Electroplating of (not onto) Kovar alloy

November 23, 2011

Hi,
Does anyone have a good reference or method for electroplating Kovar alloy onto various substrates?
Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi, Thomas.

I wasn't able to easily find any reference to electrodeposition of Kovar, but I would tend to believe it is possible since nickel-cobalt and nickel-iron alloys are frequently electrodeposited.
