ELECTROPLATING ENGINEERING TOOL

Electroplating Calculator

Select a plating metal and solution, then calculate current, deposition time, deposition rate and estimated coating mass from surface area, current density and required thickness. Review the associated chemistry and process-control guidance from the workbook.

Calculated values are theoretical estimates based on Faraday’s law and the workbook current-efficiency value. Actual thickness and distribution may vary with geometry, throwing power, shielding, agitation, contact resistance, current distribution, bath condition and process control.
