Uses the three main electroplating processes i.e. vat, barrel and selective plating, and illustrates preferred and deprecated design features.

This Part of BS 4479 gives recommendations for the design of parts that are to be coated by electroplating or autocatalytic plating.

This Part of BS 4479 applies to the various techniques available for vat and barrel electroplating, selective electroplating, autocatalytic plating (commonly referred to as electroless plating, though this term is deprecated), but does not give full details of the various processes available for the plating of either metallic or non-metallic surfaces.

NOTE 1 Many of the basic design recommendations given are equally applicable to both metallic articles and to those manufactured from other materials, e.g. plastics.

NOTE 2 It is recommended that Part 1 of BS 4479 be read in conjunction with this Part. Part 1 includes a list of British Standards relating to processes covered by BS 4479 but not necessarily referred to in each Part.

NOTE 3 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
