Cobalt-Gold Processes 

Auruna 539/539LC

Auruna 539 and 539LC produce gold deposits of 99.7%, alloyed with cobalt. The ultra bright deposits have good corrosion and abrasion resistance with a hardness of 150 - 220 HV.

The processes exhibit excellent deposit distribution.

 


Auruna 7100

A high-speed cobalt alloyed gold plating electrolyte.

The deposit from this electrolyte contains 99.7% gold and has a hardness of 180 - 200 HV making it well suited for electrical contact applications.

 


Auruna 8100

A high speed cobalt gold process for reel to reel and tab plating applications.

Gold content is 12 g/l and deposition rate is up to 11 µm per minute.

Nickel-Gold Processes

Auruna 215

A weakly acid, decorative nickel/gold solution, producing a deposit of approximately 1 - 2 N.

 


Auruna 220

Auruna 220 produces a pale yellow, bright 14 carat nickel-gold deposit ideally suited for decorative applications.

With gold content 4 g/l and a deposition speed of 0.6 µm per minute the process is suitable for both rack and barrel applications.

 


Auruna 523

A high efficiency nickel-gold process containing 0.3% nickel.

The deposits show low and stable contact resistance and good wear resistance whilst showing a wide operating window.

It can be used in both rack and barrel and meets ASTM B488: type 2 - 3, code C.

 


Auruna 527

Auruna 527 produces a nickel gold deposit and has been designed specifically for barrel plating.

This gold bath displays excellent metal distribution characteristics. The bath has a gold content of 2 - 5 g/l and a deposition rate of 0.02 - 0.1 µm per minute.

 


Auruna 528

A weakly acid, hard gold plating electrolyte with high current efficiency.

This nickel alloyed gold plating solution is ideal for both printed circuit and decorative applications producing a yellow coloured deposit.

 


Auruna 531

Auruna 531 is a weakly acidic electrolyte for the deposition of bright, hard gold coatings – deep yellow in colour.

The nickel gold coatings have a hardness of 140 - 150 HV and display good abrasion resistance.

 


Auruna 535/535LC

Auruna 535 is a weakly acidic electrolyte producing deposits containing 99.8% gold. The gold is alloyed with nickel and the resulting deposit has a hardness of 140 - 150HV.

Both the 535 bath and the 535LC bath (low concentration) may use stainless steel anodes.

 


Auruna 7400

Auruna 7400 is a high-speed nickel gold bath. The yellow gold deposits have a purity of 99.5 - 99.9% gold and a hardness of 120 - 180HV.

 


Auruna 8400

A new high speed hard nickel-gold process designed for electrical contacts.

Low porosity and wear resistance are features together with an extended operating range.

ASTM B-488: type2-3, code C.

Iron-Gold Processes
 
Auruna 536/536LC
A decorative, deep-yellow iron/gold deposit is produced by Auruna 536 which is suitable both decorative and technical applications (MIL-G 45204 classification I-11C).

The solution has a gold content of 11 g/l and has a deposition speed of 1 µm per minute.

These electrolytes produce a gold deposit of 99.7% gold alloyed with iron. Crack-free coatings of up to 10 µm can be achieved with a hardness of 150 - 170 HV.


Auruna 7000

A high-speed acid gold plating solution, producing iron alloyed gold deposits. Ideally suited to connector applications, this electrolyte can be easily cleaned of metallic impurities.

Nickel/Indium-Gold Processes

Auruna 221

A weakly acid, nickel/indium alloyed gold plating electrolyte producing a pale yellow 1N coloured deposit.

Deposits have good corrosion and abrasion resistance making them ideal for decorative applications.

 


Auruna 222

Similar to Auruna 221 but producing a light 2N colour.

 


Auruna 223

Similar to Auruna 221 but producing a pale yellow/greyish colour.

 


Auruna 230

A high speed, nickel-indium alloyed gold plating electrolyte producing a pale yellow colour.

 


Auruna 232

As Auruna 230 but producing a light yellow 2N colour.

 


Auruna 233

As Auruna 230 but producing a pale/greyish colour.

Silver-Gold Processes

Auruna 570

A range of alkaline-cyanide, silver alloyed gold electrolytes producing thick coatings of gold.

Auruna 570 18 carat Green Yellow
Auruna 571 20 carat Light Yellow
Auruna 572 22.8 carat Deep Yellow
Auruna 574 14 carat Pale Yellow
Auruna 575 12 carat Yellowish White
