External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 3 external links on Electroplating. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.newmoa.org/prevention/p2tech/TriChromeFinal.pdf
Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120305183445/http://www.galteh.ru/article_galvanotehnika.html to http://www.galteh.ru/article_galvanotehnika.html
Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.allbusiness.com/manufacturing/chemical-manufacturing-paint/3993213-1.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Are US pennies ELECTROplated?

I temporarily removed this paragraph from the head section:

The most common form of electroplating is used for creating coins, such as US pennies, which are made of zinc covered in a layer of copper.^[1]

The concern is whether the copper is indeed deposited by ELECTROplating, or rather by electroless plating. I could not find any authoritative source to answer this question. The reference given does not seem to say. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 14:56, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not great sources, but still.

There is probably a way to infer information from the thickness copper on the penny. I think its too thin for other manufacturing technique ? idk

Merge discussion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To merge Zinc alloy electroplating into Electrogalvanization, but not into Electroplating on the grounds of size and independent notability. Klbrain (talk) 13:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zinc alloy electroplating and Electrogalvanization are all talking about the same thing, or are merely sub mechanisms.

Since this one has a German equivalent, I would propose to merge the two above into this one, because the two above do not have German equivalents.

Cheers Ceever (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merging the two into this article would make Electroplating too big and give electrogalvanization undue weight. However, Zinc alloy electroplating and Electrogalvanization themselves do seem to need merging. I would suggest merging Zinc alloy electroplating into Electrogalvanization, then linking the product into Electroplating as a spinoff. --Liu1126 (talk) 18:14, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I do not believe Electroplating needs merging with the others, which could, however, do with a merger of their own. I oppose this main merge suggestion, though. Kiril kovachev (talk) 20:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uses of electroplating

Uses of electroplating 202.43.120.207 (talk) 06:54, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is used for the production of hydrogen through a nickel solution to which is applied an electric current at over 900 degree Celsius. Oxygen is generated when a material that's coated with iron and cobalt on top of the nickel has electricity put through it. The new material produced 20 more hydrogen than compared to platinum (source: fuelcellworks.com). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.19.26.110 (talk) 21:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
