Hello Asim, please try to phrase your question in terms of what you are doing, rather than posing it in a form where people would have to present extensive charts to answer it. For example, what lead thickness do you require, and what zinc thickness do you require . . . and what type of lead plating solution and zinc plating solution do you intend to use? Thanks.
