Electrochemical metallizing (ECM) has been widely used in aircraft maintenance and OEM applications, but is far from reaching it's potential. Although ECM has been around for more than twenty years, it still represents a small part of metal finishing as a whole, thus making information describing the process not readily available.Most of the problems experienced with the process, aside from solution contamination, stem from improper tooling design, and will be the focus of this paper.Tooling and other areas covered will be as follows: This paper will cover areas which help us get closer to creating ideal ECM conditions, therefore improving repeatability and opening doors to new applications.
