In electroplating, the formation of bright deposits is desirable in order to avoid extra buffing costs and also as a means ofgetting an acceptable finish on areas not accessible to micro-mechanical finishing tools. This constraint is particularly important in the deposition of gold, as losses of the metalduring buffing or other mechanical finishing operations must be kept to a minimum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
