thoroughly. Remove rust completely and degrease the part, e.g. with isopropanol. Be sure to work with clean disposable gloves to avoid transferring skin grease to the workpiece.

A nickel anode is particularly recommended - this gives a very high range, as the nickel is permanently enriched.

Please pay attention to the following recommendations, depending on the electroplating method used.

Parameters (these may vary, please test):

• tank plating: 2-5V (approx 3V recommended at 10cm distance)

• brush plating: 6-12V (approx 8-9V recommended)

• current density: 0.3-1,2A/dm² (up to 3A/dm² with bath movement)

• working temperature: 15-60°C

• pH-value: approx 4 (can be corrected with e.g. 10% sulphuric acid)

• deposition rate: approx 0.3µm/min at 1A/dm² and 20°C

If the specified parameters are adhered to, a shiny and uniform nickel layer will form on the component.
