Determination of Iron concentration in Pd-Fe plating bath
Iron analysis allows the quantification of Iron concentration in Pd-Fe plating baths. If the amount of Fe in the plating bath is less than the expected amount, the plating 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 plating processes.
Method
Test type: End Point.
Time testing: immediate reading
Analysis sessions with multiple samples are possible up to a maximum of 16 tests for CDR GalvanLab®.
Sample treatment
The sample can be used as is.
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.
Measuring range
