Although DIY PCB making has made great strides since the early days of chemical etching, there’s one fly in the ointment: vias. These connect individual layers of the board with a conductive tube, and ...

Silver electroplating and electrodeposition techniques represent a cornerstone in modern materials science, merging fundamental electrochemical principles with advanced engineering practices. These ...

Copper electrodeposition is a vital process in the fabrication of microelectronic interconnects, battery components and decorative coatings. By utilising carefully formulated electrolytes and ...

A range of production processes frequently employ acid mixtures comprised of two or three acids; for example, nitric acids, sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acids. In order to use these acids safely ...

Since the end of the Second World War the use of plastics has increased remarkably due to a systematic exploitation of their principal advantages, i.e. lightness, flexibility and toughness, ease of ...

Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don’t act ...

The electrochemical deposition (ECD) equipment market for IC packaging is heating up as 2.5D, 3D and fan-out technologies begin to ramp. Applied Materials recently rolled out an ECD system for IC ...

How do you make old rusty hardware like new again without having to visit a plating shop or buy new fasteners? This process can be performed at home with Eastwood's Tin-Zinc Electroplating System. It ...

Electroplating is a technique that uses an electrical current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a surface. It is widely used across industries to enhance material properties, such as durability, ...
