Chapter 13, Problem 13.33PAE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Gold should used in pin manufacturing instead of copper. Explain.

Concept Introduction:

  • Electroplating: It is a process which uses electric current to decrease dissolved metal cations so that they produce a thin metal (coherent) coating on an electrode.
  • Electroplating changes the mechanical, chemical and physical properties of the workpiece.
  • Electroplating of gold on nickel-plated circuits reduces the contact resistance as well as the surface hardness.
