Amerway Offers Full Range of High-Purity Custom Anodes for Electroplating
December 14, 2017 | Amerway Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Amerway Inc. announces the availability of all types of standard and custom anodes for electroplating in electronics manufacturing.
Electroplating applications include surface preparation, decorative finishing on metals and plastics, sealing, aircraft bearings, and electrical interconnects in microelectronic devices.
In making the announcement, Tim Brown, Sales Manager, said, “We make our anodes using only high purity, virgin materials; this ensures that Amerway cast or extruded anodes are the highest quality available. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility applies the latest methods of advanced production control to ensure highest quality and consistency, and strict laboratory control of the manufacturing process ensures repeatable quality and consistency. Our high-purity virgin tin anodes are made in our Altoona, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and are used by electronics plating operations across North America.”
Anode metals include copper, nickel, tin, copper-tin, lead, tin-lead, tin-zinc, zinc, and others.
Typical anode forms include bars, stars, ovals, ingots, flats, nuggets, chunks, foil, ribbon, cathodes, cut cathodes, rectangles, slugs, and many custom shapes for various plating setups.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
