Electroplating basics - How to calculate the current for your part

How to estimate the current to use as starting value is shown. This is based on that you need to know the surface area of your part to electroplate. Estimating the surface area from the weight of an A4 paper is a simple method that will provide you with a rough value so you can set the power supply. Usually, much lower current values are required to electroplate. However above the value you get from the estimated value in the video, one will often encounter gas evolution at the surface of the part, resulting in a porous electroplate.

Thank you for this video! Makes a complex Calc much easier.

The front and back of the part is symmetrical, just cut out one and multiply by 2.

Well I followed your Rust removal electrolysis video with great results, so I think I'll have to try this now. I don't have a magnetic stirrer, so will try and silicone seal the electronics on a small CPU computer fan and try that.

thanks for the vid man.. very thorough scentific approach. Can you do a video on methods to mask off areas you DONT want electroplated or DONT want to be affected by electrolysis..for instance I have a rear differential with bearing and mating surfaces that I would prefer to clean more delicately by hand to prevent damage, and also dont want plated, but would like to clean most of it by electrolysis.

If you have a CAD model of your part, most of them can tell you the surface area.

2.2 Amps seems like a lot for such a small part.

This might come off as a dumb question... but let’s say I have 10 parts that measure one square inch each. I then go set them on my rack for plating simultaneously. Would I plate at 0.2 amps or would I plate at 1.0 amps?

This may be a dumb question but I got to ask, how would you know that your electric current 0.2 Amp/inch2 would be efficient enough to plate the entire area? Unless of course you make the Voltage a constant variable and adjust the current to gain this specific current density to plate in a small amount of time.

It's really helpful video. I can't see your electrolyte solution ingredients. Can please provide me the salt solution?

Can I just use graph paper and count the squares?

weigh the paper then add the weight of the cutouts
