Electroplating engineering handbook

As an instructor in various finishing courses, I have frequently made the statement over the years that "In the field of metal finishing there is very little black and white, just a great deal of grey. In the pages that follow, you will therefore find frequent references to other sources where more detailed explanations or information can be found.
