The electroplater can achieve excellent results from bright zinc plating electrolytes when the baths are operated correctly. This article is designed to give quick reference to all vital data needed for the optimum bath performance. Discussion has been kept to a minimum in favor of tables in an effort to convey more useful information in a simplified form. Although there are a number of electroplating baths operating such as acid sulfate and alloyed zinc, their numbers are a small percentage of the zinc electroplating industry. With that in mind, the present data concentrate on acid chloride zinc, alkaline noncyanide zinc, and cyanide zinc baths.
