Abstract

This paper presents a microcontroller-based design system for automated Nickel-chrome plating process using time flow of current. Given fixed electroplating parameters, the amount of a substance discharged will be a function of time and current density. These oftentimes are traditionally read using a stop clock and ammeter on a rectifier. This conventional method lacks capacity for instantaneous measurement and is usually prone to error due to open circuit. The present study unveils an energy saving microcontroller-based design capable of monitoring the current flow and accurately determining the time in computing the instantaneous mass deposited on the cathode (work piece).
