How to analyse your electroplated coating?

by GDOES

Even if alchemy does not exist, electroplating can be considered the next best thing. The idea is to coat relatively common metals (e.g. copper, steel, etc.) with a more precious one (e.g. gold, silver, etc) using electricity! Actually electroplating has many different uses, besides making cheap metals look expensive. Indeed, it can be used to make anti-corrosion coatings, to produce a variety of alloys like brass or bronze on steel, etc...

How to analyse your electroplated coating?

Pulsed Radio Frequency Glow Discharge-Optical Emission Spectrometry was used to study different electroplated samples. The flexibility of the spot size, the use of a pulsed RF source and the introduction of the differential interferometry profiling make RF GD-OES a key technique for the electroplating industry.
