i need info on electroplating and deplating any info guys?

You can find information on electroplating in any College level General Chemistry book. But you may get a lot more out of looking in the phone book. Most cities have business that do electroplating (typically chrome plating) and they might be willing to help you.

The electrode part doesn't matter. All you need is a strip of copper wire and a strip of zinc. These are easily found at a hardware store.

Here's a site with alot of different ideas and difficulty levels with instructions.  Maybe you can find something here.\n\nOr you can tell us more about what you are wanting to do and what you like and we might be more helpful on here.\n\nhttp://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/

Brass cannot be electrochemically "plated", as it is an alloy.  The only way to "plate" it would be to dip the copper in the liquid.  Good luck.

http://www.finishing.com/faqs/howworks.html\n\nI work at place where we send some of our stuff out to be electroplated(nickel, brushed nickel..chrome etc)\nI patinate brass (lighting fistures) with chemecals and torch.(we build antique repro lighting fixtures.

I believe the answer is conductive.  This is the process in which things are silver plated.  \n\nHere's how it goes.You fill a tray that has been lined with aluminum foil with salt water ( or is it plain water ? ).  You run a current through the aluminum foil.  The electrons in the the foil get excited due to the electrical current and start releasing aluminum ions ( Al-, I think )  Now, take your rusty, dull ' silver ' spoon.  Place it in the bath for about 2 hours.  Be careful,  electricity, water and living things don't mix well.  After 2 hours, remove the electrical current source and remove the spoon.  The free ions in the water would have coated the spoon, making it shining again.\n\nActually, toothpaste to clean the spoon is easier.

Process Electrolysis\n\nYou will need two ordinary glasses, A pan , a DC electrical source and some supports to support the glasses in the pan with the rim below the water level.\n\nYou can find a simple experiment  and details here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis

You can buy kits, I think Maplin do them. Or other electonic hobby shops.\nNot expensive really unless you get into heated etching tanks etc\n\nbassically you buy copper covered boards you then transfer your design to the boards with an etch resistant pen or for a better job using decals.\nThe board is then dipped in an etching solution which removes all the copper not protected.\nThen drill the holes for you components and job done.\nYou can also get 2 sided boards.\nBut multi layer boards isnt a DIY job

Plating metals can be electrolytic or electroless.  The metal is oxidized from elemental state to charged state. Ie Cu will go to Cu++ in solution and then reduced to Cu on a charged metallized object.  Powder coating uses a powder spray, is then heated to form a layer around the object.

The best way I know how to do it is through electrolysis.  I don't think just heating it up will work; that will just cause the water to boil.

The process of recovering gold from electronics circuits is relatively simple, but also quite expensive to set up.\n\nEquipment required includes a DC power source capable of delivering several amperes of current at approximately 12 to 100 VDC.  ( A DC Arc Welding Power supply will work well here. )\n\nThen the material containing the gold to be extracted must be crushed.  Crushing multi-layer fiberglass circuit boards is difficult, but it must be done to expose as much of the gold as possible.\n\nA solution of water and some Gold Salt should be mixed.  Gold Sulfate is probably the cheapest, but it is STILL very expensive.  The solution should be in the range of 0.5 gram per litre.\n\nObtain a tank or container made of conductive metal.  Copper is best.  Place the crushed material in the tank,\nPour in the Gold Salt solution until crushed material is completely covered. Attach the POSITIVE anode of the power supply to the tank.  Attach the NEGATIVE cathode of the powersupply to a small piece of gold wire or gold goin or jewelry ( Just a seed to get the thing started . ) And immerse this negative lead in the solution, being careful NOT to let it touch the tank or the crushed material.\n\nTurn on the power...And walk way...The Gold from the crushed material will be 'deposited' on the Cathode gradually over time.  The more current you are able to safely supply without burning something up, the faster the process will be.

u can try www.hotstuffworks.com which can guide u to the basics of any latest electrical instrument/appliances.its a site of great help..best of luck..

Just the usual stuff.  Use an electrolyte (H2SO4/HNO3), a couple of electrodes, a reduction table of half cell potentials, and some electricity.
