Selective Brush PlatingSELECTIVE PLATING, also known as brush plating, differs from traditional tank or bath plating in that the workpiece is
not immersed in a plating solution (electrolyte). Instead, the electrolyte is brought to the part and applied by a hand-held
anode or stylus, which incorporates an absorbent wrapping for applying the solution to the workpiece (cathode). A direct
current power pack drives the electrochemical reaction, depositing the desired metal on the substrate. In practice,
movement between the anode and cathode is required for optimum results when plating, stripping, activating,
