Description With the recent escalation in power costs energy conservation has become a major concern of industry. This concern is particularly felt by platers who are faced not only with high energy costs,but also with increasing government restriction on pollution and safety regulation. It is no wonder that platers are continually seeking newer ways to save energy. With lesser drag out rinse solution and low energy consumption. Low concentration plating baths operating at low temperature offer a new field of development. Nickel plating being the hub of the electroplating industry, research work carried out in this laboratory indicates the suitability of low concentrated nickel bath in replacing the conventional Watt's system. In this preliminary report, the authors present a study on the bath characteristics such as current density range, efficiency, and throwing power in comparison to watt's nickel bath.
