Brush Plating is a form of electroplating without the use of immersion tanks. In lieu of, the plating solution is brought to the surface. Plating is carried out with the use of a rectifier, an anode assembly consisting of a handle and an anode which is covered with a liquid absorbent material. The part undergoing the process is the cathode. Advantages using this method are:

• the equipment  is portable , hence can be brought on site
• outsize parts can be selective plated plated , requiring partial or no dismantling
• requires far less masking
• provides for fast deposition due to high current
• selective choice of deposit. Many kinds of metal and alloys are available
• no distortion due to cold process
• reduces or eliminates machining
• excellent adhesion due to molecular bonding
• can plate bores and other difficult to reach areas
• its relative easy to learn

Brush Plating applications can be used for any  surface as long as the part  is conductive to current flow.

Brush Plating can provide for coatings, rangine from a few microns in thickness to extensive build ups. Preparation of the surface does in most cases not require pre-machining.

Brush Plating is covered by  Military-,Government and many other industrial standards.
