Electrodeposition applications for the Space Shuttle Main EngineElectrodeposition processes play a key role in the fabrication and in-service performance of the Space Shuttle Main Engine. Applications range from the electroforming of the main combustion chamber to the deposition of high-purity copper or gold for hydrogen embrittlement protection of susceptible materials of construction, or nickel for mechanical protection of foam insulated propellant ducts. Techniques for controlling electrolyte purity, verification of deposit integrity, and deposit profile and thickness are reported. The use of in-situ techniques (cell-plating) for localized plating and repair of damaged substrate materials are summarized.
