Electroplating

© Fraunhofer IPA

Electrochemical coating technologies are commonly known as electroplating and their use is widespread. They are key technologies in all branches of industry and therefore of major importance to most groups of products. Thanks to innovations in processes and equipment, ever-better and novel layer properties are being produced industrially. The Department of Electroplating at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation is a pioneer in electroplating research, driving innovations in processes and plants in the field of electroplating technologies.
