A method of electroplating an article having a conductive surface with peaks and valleys of initial surface roughness comprising cleaning the conductive surface; and electroplating a conductive metal onto the peaks to cover the peaks with the conductive metal and into the valleys to substantially fill the valleys with the conductive metal wherein the article comprises a supporting member wherein the supporting member of diamond and a seed layer comprises chromium and gold, and
The Pellu \Nast:e\IVat:er Process The "Pellu" bird only catches it's prey In clean, clear, odorless water. This is the goal of Pellu systems to provide colorless, odorless, clean water using one or a combination of six different Pellu chemicals, depending on the profile and complexity of the solution. It removes all heavy metals, Is not pH sensitive, and is highly efficient In the presence of Interfering agents such as ammonia, sulfates and EDTA. This process is extremely cost effective, and time saving. Visit us on the worldwide web at:
