The 39th William Blum Lecture, The NIST (NBS) Electrochemical Processing (Electrodeposition) Group of Today

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) is fast-approaching its centennial anniversary in the year 2001, and the Electrochemical Processing Group will celebrate its century-long history in the year 2013. Not only have projects, programs, focus areas and personnel changed with time, but also the group and institutional names. While electrodeposition research and development at NIST has had an illustrious past under the leadership of Blum, Brenner, Ogburn and Lashmore, this lecture gives a brief account on each of the focus areas that exist within the group today. These include: Electrodeposition of aluminum alloys, electrochemical processing of nanoscale materials, electrochemical measurements of solderability for microelectronics, electrodeposited standard reference materials, advanced restorative dental materials, electrodeposition and characterization of chromium from trivalent electrolytes, and electrodeposited metallic glass alloys for orthopedic implants.
