Abstract :
In this paper a finite element model has been proposed for evaluation of primary and secondary current
density values on the cathode surface in nickel electroplating operation of a revolving part. In addition, the capability
of presented electroplating simulation has been investigated in order to describe the electroplated thickness of the
nickel sulfate solution. Nickel electroplating experiments have been carried out. A good agreement between the
simulated and experimental results was found. Also the results showed that primary current density can describe the
general form of thickness distribution but the relative value of current density using secondary current density can
present better description of thickness distribution.
