How to Use This Calculator

Enter Part surface area (sq ft), Target thickness (mils), and Plating metal (1-7).
Set Current density (ASF), Cathode efficiency (%), and Metal cost ($/lb).
Adjust Electricity cost ($/kWh) as needed.
Review Plating time (min) and Total cost ($) ($).
Use Total current (amps) and Tank voltage (V) to inform your decision.
