  • Process for electroplating nickel over stainless steel
    Patent number: 4764260
    Abstract: In a process for plating nickel upon a surface of a workpiece made of stainless steel, the workpiece is immersed in an electrolytic sulfuric acid bath, with the workpiece anodically connected. Thus, DC current flows from the workpiece, through the bath, to a separate cathode in the bath. Thereafter, the sulfuric acid is rinsed from the workpiece and the workpiece surface is electroplated with nickel which will strongly adhere to the surface. Finally, the nickel-plated part may be conventionally electroplated with chrome.
