"Electroplating and metal finishing both are an art and science. This book is concerned with chemical, physical, electromechanical and electroplating processes. Electrodeposition of metals is a very significant industrial processes. A large number of metals are electrodeposited on metals and non-metals. The general principles, processes preparatory to heating like degreasing, cleaning, pickling etc. are all delineated. This book comprises various formulae of bath solutions, current density, deposit thickness, manufacturing processes, various ingredients used in electroplating and other plating processes.".…
