The design of electrodes for electroplating systems

Summary

In the past the design of electrode arrangements to provide acceptable coating profiles on components has depended upon the skill of the electroplater. By using numerical computer techniques this skill may be complemented to the extent of predicting actual deposition profiles, even over complicated geometries.

Malcolm McCormick formerly with Firth Brown Ltd, Sheffield is presently a lecturer at the University of Sheffield. In 1979 he began work on chromium electrocoatings and the modelling of electrochemical systems. Although relatively inexperienced in the field of metal finishing he is now actively engaged in both the electrocoatings and electroforming fields. A member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers he serves on the professional group dealing with industrial processes and is the author of a patent and several publications.
