“…A typical standard is the tensile testing under ISO 105-E03:2010 [150], which permits quantification of the tendency of hard thin top layers to cracking and delamination. Specifically, tensile tests and biaxial stress measurements are extremely important to assess adhesion failures on aluminum and electrodeposited copper alloys [151,152]. Research on the mechanical behavior of nanolaminated composites and alloys is a relatively new field, and the development of interfacial adhesion models to predict experimental observations is still challenging [153].…”

Electroplating processes are widely employed in industrial environments for a large variety of metallic coatings, ranging from technological to decorative applications. Even if the galvanic electrodeposition is certainly a mature technology, new concepts, novel applications, environmental legislation and the new material requirements for next-generation devices make the scientific research in this field still very active. This review focuses mostly at the decorative and wearable applications, and aims to create a bridge between the past knowledge and the future direction that this process, i.e., electrodeposition, is taking. Both the theoretical fundamentals as well as some of the most widespread practical applications-limited to metallic and alloy coatings-are explored. As an integral part of the industrial process, we take a look at the main techniques thought which the quality control of deposits and surfaces is carried out. Finally, global industrial performance and research directions towards sustainable solutions are highlighted.
