A method of selectively electroplating localized areas without having to use an immersion tank. The brush plating process is similar to a painting operation. The operator soaks the plating tool in the plating solution and the plating solution is delivered to the work area by an absorbent cover wrapped around the anode of the plating tool. The deposit is applied by brushing the plating tool against the work area.
Advantages of Brush Plating
- Does not necessitate the disassembly of a unit
- Reduces the amount of masking required.
- Permits plating of parts too large for existing plating tanks.
- Reduces machine downtime and production delays
- Provides, in many cases, superior adhesion particularly on more difficult to plate materials.
