Summary for plating properties table Discussion
Overview table of plating and its properties is the kind of reference Fredrik was looking for: a single source covering electroless and electrolytic plating, common metals and alloys, precious metals, and a long list of properties such as composition, internal stress, melting point, density, thermal expansion, resistivity, hardness, wear, corrosion, solderability, and weldability. The reply says this is a tall order and that no one source fully meets it. The closest recommendation given is William Safranek’s *The Properties of Electrodeposited Metals and Alloys*, suggested by name as the best available reference, though it still falls short of the complete table Fredrik wants. The discussion therefore points to a partial but useful handbook rather than a comprehensive all-in-one database.
Q. Does anyone know if there is a book or website covering “all plating” with layer properties?
I know that there is a difference between different processes. Without a more comprehensive one I know that there are lots of good tables over different plating, but if there is something more collected …?
Electroless and electrolytic
both the common metals and alloys as well
precious metal and precious metal processes

A. Hi Fredrik. That’s a tall order, and the closest I know of — although still falling short of what you’d like — is Safranek’s “The Properties of Electrodeposited Metals and Alloys” ⇨
