How did Luigi Galvani's experiments with twitching frogs' legs, Allessandro Volta's invention of the Voltaic Column and Davy and Faraday's discovery of electrolysis develop into the production technology of electroplating?
This is explained in a short audio report on SWR Kultur, which was broadcast on January 5. Katja Feige, head of the electroplating technology group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA), also has her say, tracing the various steps from the historical discovery of electroplating to the modern use of this indispensable manufacturing technology.
A piece of technical history worth listening to, which succinctly describes the multi-stage development process of electrochemical metal deposition and can, for example, give trainees a good first impression of their future field of activity.
