Gold is unique with its yellow color. Also, gold is a precious metal, which means that it will not oxidize in air, so its electrical conductivity stays uniform over long periods of time. It is ideally suited for gold electroplating applications. Gold plating offers good corrosion resistance, good solderability, and when alloyed with cobalt, it has very good wear resistance. Gold is commonly used in electrical switch contacts, connector pins and barrels, and other applications where intermittent electrical contact occurs.\ Specification: MIL-G-45204 Gold Plating, Electrodeposited Type I 99.7 % gold minimum; hardness grade A, B, or C. Gold plating used for general-purpose, high-reliability electrical contacts, solderability, and wire wrap connections. Type II 99.0 % gold minimum; hardness grade B, C, or D. A general-purpose, wear-resistant gold. It will not withstand high-temperature applications because the hardening agents in the gold plating will oxidize. Type III 99.9 % gold minimum; hardness grade A only. Gold plating for semiconductor components, nuclear engineering, thermocompression bonding, and high-temperature application. Gold Plating & Gold Electroplating - purity and coating thickness: Co-deposited impurities can make soldering more difficult, and for this reason high purity gold plating is preferred. Soldering requirements are best achieved when gold electroplating coatings range between 0.00005 and 0.0001 inch (50 and 100 micro inches) thickness.

Gold Purity: Not less than 99.0% pure. About solderability: MIL-G-45204 extract: Codeposited impurities can make soldering more difficult, and for this reason high purity gold coatings should be used for those applications. Excellent solderability is best achieved when the gold thickness is between 0.00005 and 0.0001 inch. About Undercoating: MIL-G-45204 extract: a) Unless otherwise specified, gold over silver underplate combinations should be excluded from electronics hardware (3.4).b) When gold is applied to a copper rich surface such as brass, bronze, or beryllium copper, an antidiffusion underplate such as nickel should also be applied (3.4). Gold over silver is not recommended for electronics hardware: Gold Plating - Underplate Recommendations Gold Electroplating - When gold is applied to a copper rich surface such as brass, bronze, or beryllium copper, metal ions from these base metals will diffuse into the gold layer and degrade its hardness and non-oxidizing properties. An antidiffusion underplate such as nickel (electroless or sulfamate) should be applied to prevent this. We recommend electroless nickel under gold where part flexure of deformation is not expected and a bight finish is desirable. Where part flexure or deformation is expected, we recommend sulfamate nickel as the underplate because of its higher ducility.

1.Materials qualified produce coatings that range in color from clear to iridescent yellow or brown. Inspection difficulties may arise with clear coatings because visual inspection does not reveal the presence of a coating. 2. Class 1A For maximum protection from corrosion, for surfaces to be painted or left unpainted.3. Class 1A chemical conversion coatings are intended to provide corrosion prevention when left unpainted and to improve adhesion of paint finish systems to aluminum and aluminum alloys may be used for all surface treatments of tanks, tubing's and component structures where interior paint finishes are not required. Repair of mechanically damaged areas of anodic coatings conforming to MIL-A-8625 will provide effective means of reestablishing corrosion resistance but will not restore abrasion resistance of the anodic coating. Class 3: Class 3 chemical coatings are intended as a corrosion preventive film from electrical and electronic applications where low resistance contacts are required.
