Ruthenium coated titanium? [New Zealand]  

Nov 8, 2002 

I would like to communicate with anyone who is involved with the
coating of ruthenium onto titanium. Any technique, such as thermal
spraying, electroplating, electroless plating?

Hello Paul, 

Our company manufactures a line of brush electroplating chemicals and
equipment. As a brush electroplater, we have been asked to perform
many unusual projects for R&D, prototyping and specialized production
runs. These projects include plating metals such as ruthenium onto
platinum. The preparation of the titanium includes an abrsive
activation process followed by the deposition of an acidic solution
such as ruthenium. Some of the metals we plate require a bonding layer
of nickel but ruthenium, like platinum will not require this bonding
layer.

If you would like more information, I would invite to you to contact us. 

All the best,
