'''Electroplating''' is a process that uses electrical [[direct current|current]] to [[redox|reduce]] dissolved metal [[cation]]s so that they form a coherent metal coating on an [[electrode]]. The term is also used for electrical [[redox|oxidation]] of [[anions]] onto a solid subtrate, as in the formation silver chloride on silver wire to make [[silver chloride electrode|silver/silver-chloride electrodes]]. Electroplating is primarily used to change the surface properties of an object (e.g. [[abrasion (mechanical)|abrasion]] and wear resistance, [[corrosion]] protection, [[lubrication|lubricity]], aesthetic qualities, etc.), but may also be used to build up thickness on undersized parts or to form objects by [[electroforming]]. | |||
The process used in electroplating is called '''electrodeposition'''. It is analogous to a [[galvanic cell]] [[electrolytic cell|acting in reverse]]. The part to be plated is the [[cathode]] of the circuit. In one technique, the [[anode]] is made of the metal to be plated on the part. Both components are immersed in a [[solution]] called an [[electrolyte]] containing one or more dissolved [[salt (chemistry)|metal salts]] as well as other [[ion]]s that permit the flow of electricity. A [[power supply]] supplies a [[direct current]] to the [[anode]], oxidizing the metal atoms that comprise it and allowing them to dissolve in the solution. At the cathode, the dissolved metal ions in the electrolyte solution are reduced at the interface between the solution and the cathode, such that they "plate out" onto the cathode. The rate at which the anode is dissolved is equal to the rate at which the cathode is plated, vis-a-vis the current flowing through the circuit. In this manner, the ions in the electrolyte bath are continuously replenished by the anode.<ref>Dufour, IX-1.</ref> | |||
Other electroplating processes may use a non-consumable anode such as lead or carbon. In these techniques, ions of the metal to be plated must be periodically replenished in the bath as they are drawn out of the solution.<ref name="Dufour, IX-2">Dufour, IX-2.</ref> The most common form of electroplating is used for creating coins such as [[pennies]], which are small [[zinc]] plates covered in a layer of [[copper]]. | |||

==Process== | |||
[[File:Copper electroplating.svg|thumb|Electroplating of a metal (Me) with copper in a copper sulfate bath]] | |||
The cations associate with the [[anion]]s in the solution. These cations are reduced at the cathode to deposit in the metallic, zero valence state. For example, in an acid solution, [[copper]] is oxidized at the anode to Cu<sup>2+</sup> by losing two electrons. The Cu<sup>2+</sup> associates with the anion SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> in the solution to form copper sulfate. At the cathode, the Cu<sup>2+</sup> is reduced to metallic copper by gaining two electrons. The result is the effective transfer of copper from the anode source to a plate covering the cathode. | |||
The plating is most commonly a single metallic [[chemical element|element]], not an [[alloy]]. However, some alloys can be electrodeposited, notably [[brass]] and [[solder]]. | |||
Many plating baths include [[cyanide]]s of other metals (e.g., [[potassium cyanide]]) in addition to cyanides of the metal to be deposited. These free cyanides facilitate anode corrosion, help to maintain a constant metal ion level and contribute to conductivity. Additionally, non-metal chemicals such as [[carbonate]]s and [[phosphate]]s may be added to increase conductivity. | |||
When plating is not desired on certain areas of the substrate, stop-offs are applied to prevent the bath from coming in contact with the substrate. Typical stop-offs include tape, foil, [[lacquer]]s, and [[wax]]es.<ref name="dufour3">Dufour, IX-3.</ref> | |||
===Strike=== | |||
Initially, a special plating deposit called a "strike" or "flash" may be used to form a very thin (typically less than 0.1 micrometer thick) plating with high quality and good adherence to the substrate. This serves as a foundation for subsequent plating processes. A strike uses a high current density and a bath with a low ion concentration. The process is slow, so more efficient plating processes are used once the desired strike thickness is obtained. | |||
The striking method is also used in combination with the plating of different metals. If it is desirable to plate one type of deposit onto a metal to improve corrosion resistance but this metal has inherently poor adhesion to the substrate, a strike can be first deposited that is compatible with both. One example of this situation is the poor adhesion of electrolytic [[nickel]] on [[zinc]] alloys, in which case a copper strike is used, which has good adherence to both.<ref name="Dufour, IX-2"/> | |||
===Brush electroplating=== | |||
A closely related process is brush electroplating, in which localized areas or entire items are plated using a brush saturated with plating solution. The brush, typically a [[stainless steel]] body wrapped with a cloth material that both holds the plating solution and prevents direct contact with the item being plated, is connected to the positive side of a low voltage direct-current power source, and the item to be plated connected to the negative. The operator dips the brush in plating solution then applies it to the item, moving the brush continually to get an even distribution of the plating material. | |||
Brush electroplating has several advantages over tank plating, including portability, ability to plate items that for some reason cannot be tank plated (one application was the plating of portions of very large decorative support columns in a building restoration), low or no masking requirements, and comparatively low plating solution volume requirements. Disadvantages compared to tank plating can include greater operator involvement (tank plating can frequently be done with minimal attention), and inability to achieve as great a plate thickness. | |||
===Electroless deposition=== | |||
Usually an [[electrolytic cell]] (consisting of two electrodes, electrolyte, and external source of current) is used for electrodeposition. In contrast, an electroless deposition process uses only one electrode and no external source of electric current. However, the solution for the electroless process needs to contain a reducing agent so that the electrode reaction has the form: | |||
:<math>M^{z+} + Red_{solution} \stackrel{\text{catalytic surface}} \Longrightarrow M_{solid} + Oxy_{solution}</math> | |||
In principle any water-based reducer can be used although the redox potential of the reducer half-cell must be high enough to overcome the energy barriers inherent in liquid chemistry. [[Electroless nickel plating]] uses hypophosphite as the reducer while plating of other metals like silver, gold and copper typically use low molecular weight aldehydes. | |||
A major benefit of this approach over electroplating is that power sources and plating baths are not needed, reducing the cost of production. The technique can also plate diverse shapes and types of surface. The downside is that the plating process is usually slower and cannot create such thick plates of metal. As a consequence of these characteristics, electroless deposition is quite common in the decorative arts. | |||
=== Cleanliness === | |||
[[Parts cleaning|Cleanliness]] is essential to successful electroplating, since molecular layers of oil can prevent adhesion of the coating. [[ASTM]] B322 is a standard guide for cleaning metals prior to electroplating. Cleaning processes include solvent cleaning, hot alkaline detergent cleaning, electro-cleaning, and acid treatment etc. The most common industrial test for cleanliness is the waterbreak test, in which the surface is thoroughly rinsed and held vertical. Hydrophobic contaminants such as oils cause the water to bead and break up, allowing the water to drain rapidly. Perfectly clean metal surfaces are hydrophilic and will retain an unbroken sheet of water that does not bead up or drain off. ASTM F22 describes a version of this test. This test does not detect hydrophilic contaminants, but the electroplating process can displace these easily since the solutions are water-based. Surfactants such as soap reduce the sensitivity of the test and must be thoroughly rinsed off. | |||
==Effects== | |||
Electroplating changes the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of the workpiece. An example of a chemical change is when nickel plating improves corrosion resistance. An example of a physical change is a change in the outward appearance. An example of a mechanical change is a change in [[tensile strength]] or surface [[hardness]] which is a required attribute in tooling industry.<ref>{{cite book | |||

Electroplating is a process that uses electrical current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode. The term is also used for electrical oxidation of anions onto a solid subtrate, as in the formation silver chloride on silver wire to make silver/silver-chloride electrodes. Electroplating is primarily used to change the surface properties of an object (e.g. abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities, etc.), but may also be used to build up thickness on undersized parts or to form objects by electroforming.
The process used in electroplating is called electrodeposition. It is analogous to a galvanic cell acting in reverse. The part to be plated is the cathode of the circuit. In one technique, the anode is made of the metal to be plated on the part. Both components are immersed in a solution called an electrolyte containing one or more dissolved metal salts as well as other ions that permit the flow of electricity. A power supply supplies a direct current to the anode, oxidizing the metal atoms that comprise it and allowing them to dissolve in the solution. At the cathode, the dissolved metal ions in the electrolyte solution are reduced at the interface between the solution and the cathode, such that they "plate out" onto the cathode. The rate at which the anode is dissolved is equal to the rate at which the cathode is plated, vis-a-vis the current flowing through the circuit. In this manner, the ions in the electrolyte bath are continuously replenished by the anode.[1]
Other electroplating processes may use a non-consumable anode such as lead or carbon. In these techniques, ions of the metal to be plated must be periodically replenished in the bath as they are drawn out of the solution.[2] The most common form of electroplating is used for creating coins such as pennies, which are small zinc plates covered in a layer of copper.
