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.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
