Question:

Where can I find information on plating bath analysis? I am particularly interested in methods and procedures. N.P.

Answer:

There are two books that I recommend: Volumetric Analysis of Metal Finishing Solutions, Andrew McFadyen, Finishing Publications Ltd., and Colorimetric Analysis of Metal Finishing & Metal Working Solutions & Effluents, Aubrey Knowles, ASM International. Both of these books are available from ASM International.
