Determination of Iron Concentration in Pd-Fe electroplating baths
Iron analysis allows the quantification of Fe concentration in Pd-Fe electroplating baths. If the amount of Fe in the electroplating bath is less than the expected amount, the electroplating process may be suboptimal, possibly leading to problems with aesthetic defects (e.g. glazing) in the finished products. Therefore, monitoring the concentration of Fe in Pd-Fe baths is critical to ensure the good performance of electroplating processes.
Method
Test principle
The iron content is determined by its reaction with a chromogen that develops a coloration, the optical intensity of which is proportional to the Fe concentration in the analyzed sample.
Calibration curve
The calibration curve was obtained by correlating the CDR method with the reference method.
