Despite the midsummer and heat, Robert Piterek and Sven Gramatke recorded a podcast in August. One of the central questions is whether electroplating will go green.
At the moment, it is definitely an industry caught between confidence and doubt, as Robert reports. On the one hand, there are certainly reasons for hope, but on the other, there are legitimate concerns.
Frank Tischlinger also expresses his concerns in his article on the state of training. What can we all do together to get better skilled workers in the future?
We also discuss an article by Mareike Hägele (FEM) on the galvanic deposition of lithium layers. Other topics include climate neutrality in electroplating, an energy-saving series by Sven Reimold, laser technology and a report on an old craft by Heinz Käsinger.
