Faraday Technology Inc. is a research, development and engineering firm developing electrochemical innovations based has pulse/pulse reverse electrolytic principles [1]. With that founding basis Faraday has been able to bridge the gap between academic understanding and small scale demonstration to commercialization of practical components over 30 years of operation.

This presentation will discuss a broad range of alloy and composite deposition programs that have been carried out at Faraday. These include functionally graded NiMo, CeO₂ inclusion in NiMo, CrAlY inclusions in NiCo, NiCoCr alloy deposition, and so on. We intend the presentation to give a perspective on the challenges associated with transitioning electrodeposition technologies from coupons to components. We also want to demonstrate the potential to achieve success during these challenging transitions by tuning the electrochemical device and method. Finally, we will try to identify similarities and differences in the observed challenges and ways that many could be overcome either by electrochemical engineering, process developments, or program planning.
