Electroplating, a process that uses electrical current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode
Trial began October 10, 1960, and on February 14, 1961, the court presented its decision that the Pennsylvania Board of Finance and Revenue was in error, thereby declaring that electroplating is not, in fact, manufacturing, and that therefore electroplaters are not exempt from sales and use taxes.
By 1905, the workshops around the courtyard of Leah’s Yard were occupied by eighteen Little mesters whose trades included dram flask manufacturer, hollow ware and silver buffers, palette knife makers, steel fork manufacturer, silver ferrule maker, brass and nickel silver turners, electroplate producer and a cutler.
Professor Sang-Woo Kim's group of Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) and Dr. Jae-Young Choi's group of Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) in South Korea introduced bowl-shaped transparent counter electrode by combining anodized aluminum and the electroplating technology.
