Abstract

See full text

A method for spot electroplating aluminum onto a metallic substrate without submersion or dipping of the metallic substrate in an electroplating bath, the method comprising: (i) spot coating said metallic substrate with an aluminum ion-containing electrolyte contained within a protective structure possessing at least one aperture, and releasing said electrolyte from said at least one aperture onto said metallic substrate to form a coating of said electrolyte thereon, wherein said electrolyte is in contact with an anode; and (ii) applying a voltage potential between the anode and metallic substrate polarized as cathode when the aluminum ion-containing electrolyte is released from said aperture and forms a coating on the metallic substrate, to produce a coating of aluminum on the substrate. Devices, such as brush and ball pen plating devices, for achieving the above-described method are also described.
