Why no fractals?

74.109.213.249 (talk) 03:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC) What prevents Diffusion Limited Aggregation from turning the smooth surface into a frost-like mat of loose fractal formations?

Are US pennies ELECTROplated?

I temporarily removed this paragraph from the head section:

The most common form of electroplating is used for creating coins, such as US pennies, which are made of zinc covered in a layer of copper.

The concern is whether the copper is indeed deposited by ELECTROplating, or rather by electroless plating. I could not find any authoritative source to answer this question. The reference given does not seem to say. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 14:56, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Not great sources, but still.

There is probably a way to infer information from the thickness copper on the penny. I think its too thin for other manufacturing technique ? idk

Merge discussion

Template:Discussion top Zinc alloy electroplating and Electrogalvanization are all talking about the same thing, or are merely sub mechanisms.

Since this one has a German equivalent, I would propose to merge the two above into this one, because the two above do not have German equivalents.

Cheers Ceever (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Merging the two into this article would make Electroplating too big and give electrogalvanization undue weight. However, Zinc alloy electroplating and Electrogalvanization themselves do seem to need merging. I would suggest merging Zinc alloy electroplating into Electrogalvanization, then linking the product into Electroplating as a spinoff. --Liu1126 (talk) 18:14, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Agreed, I do not believe Electroplating needs merging with the others, which could, however, do with a merger of their own. I oppose this main merge suggestion, though. Kiril kovachev (talk) 20:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Uses of electroplating

Uses of electroplating 202.43.120.207 (talk) 06:54, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

It is used for the production of hydrogen through a nickel solution to which is applied an electric current at over 900 degree Celsius. Oxygen is generated when a material that's coated with iron and cobalt on top of the nickel has electricity put through it. The new material produced 20 more hydrogen than compared to platinum (source: fuelcellworks.com). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.19.26.110 (talk) 21:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
