- Gold electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal using electrolysis. This technique is widely used in jewelry, electronics, and decorative applications to enhance corrosion resistance, improve conductivity, and provide an attractive finish.
- In gold electroplating, potassium gold cyanide (KAu(CN)₂) is the most commonly used gold source.
- The standard electroplating solution contains 18 g of KAu(CN)2 per 1 liter (1000 cm3) of solution.
- This means, for every 1000 cm3 of solution, there is 18 g of potassium gold cyanide.
