Title: Nickel plating of flexible products: Statistical optimization

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7291217

A statistical study was conducted on a Mound-designed nickel/gold co-plater to determine its optimal operating parameters. Operating parameters were varied to discover their effect on the plated flexible circuit's shininess, porosity, and uniformity of thickness. In addition to determining the parameters that would give the best quality plating, the study also resulted in an increase in plating rate.
