Application of a thin layer of platinum with the help of an anode-cathode reaction between parts and the blank. Beskrivning The process The part to be coated acts as a cathode and the surface coating material, platinum, acts as the anode. Both are immersed in a solution which vary in composition depending on the material, the desired process speed, and the final result. An anode-cathode reaction is created by the voltage applied allowing the platinum ions to leave the subject and wanders through the liquid to the part where it’s applied as a thin layer on its surface. In some cases, the cathode is powdered and dispersed in the solution to obtain a more even distribution of particles in the solution. The result is a silvery smooth surface with increased wear resistance. Platinum plating
