Abstract (en)

[origin: US4659438A] For the direct gold plating of stainless steel parts in acid baths there is needed a pretreatment of the parts. Known processes operate with corrosive media such as strong acids and attack the surface. These disadvantages are avoided by putting the stainless steel part in an electrolytic, aqueous solution and first treating cathodically and subsequently anodically.
