ABSTRACT:
A novel method for the selective electrodeposition of a metallic coating onto a base material and the products produced thereby. In the method of the invention, a thin adherent coating of an electrically conductive material is initially applied to the base material to mask off those portions of the material not to be electroplated. The composite thus formed is then placed in a suitable electroplating apparatus wherein a metallic coating such as gold or other precious metal is electrodeposited onto the portions of the composite not covered by the masking material. After electroplating, the masking material may readily be removed from the base material by chemical or mechanical means, or it may be left intact on the plated article to perform a utilitarian or decorative function in the end product application.
