Summary of Nickel Electroplating in the Home Shop - A Shocking Way to Prevent Rust!

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

in the video, the home shop owner demonstrates how to electroplate nickel onto copper using a home shop power supply. He shows how to set the power supply to the desired voltage, how to let the solution run for a while, how to plate the nickel onto the copper wire, and how to check the plating. The plating is very even and shiny, and the results are much better than expected.

After testing different current settings, he finds that 0.5 amps of current is appropriate for the task. The nickel ions start to flow from the positive to the negative electrode, and the plating process can be seen starting to occur after 30 minutes.
