The 8th William Blum Lecture, Mechanism of the Plating Process

Author: Dr. Henry B. Linford
Issue: , 1968


Since 1947, the literature has contained a considerable volume of material dealing with the mechanism of metal deposition. These studies have been made using very pure metal electrodes and highly purified solutions with oxygen exclusion being the general rule. These are necessary precautions in order that the reaction can be studied on a purely theoretical basis. Platers, however, do not take these precautions; thus, conclusions drawn from such theoretical, mechanistic studies cannot be safely applied to a practical plating process. The plater needs to know more about the deposition process in the presence of the soils and contaminants which he is forced to accept. Some of these conditions have been studied and we are gradually gaining a better understanding of the mechanism of the plating process.
