Plastics and Plating on Plastics [1944]

The discussion reviews the uses of plastics in plating equipment and processing at that time, as well as the coating of the plastics themselves, with accompanying application photos. You will note that today’s conventional plating-on-plastics processes lay far in the future. Surprisingly, CVD processes are discussed.

The Study of Copper Anodes in Acid and Cyanide Plating Baths

Their work involves an evaluation of anodes for copper plating at the time when OFHC anodes were first emerging in use.

What follows is a slightly modified excerpt, specifically on the mechanical properties of electroformed metals. Much of this information has withstood the test of time, and gives a perspective of this technology at the turn-of-the-century.
