Abstract
Electroplating is a process of coating a solid material with a metal layer using an electric current through an electrolyte solution. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best solution pH for the thickness and adhesive strength results of electroplating, as well as the method used in various electrolyte solutions, namely pH 1.7, pH 3, pH 5, pH 7 and pH 9. The anode was used Nickel while the cathode uses ST41 Steel with dimensions of 70 mm x 50 mm x 10 mm. The distance between the anode and cathode is 10 cm and a DC current voltage of 5.5 volts with an immersion time of 20 minutes. The best coating were obtained at a variation of pH 1.7 with a result of 0.0322 mm and adhesive strength at a variation of pH 5 with a result of 26.53 MPa and pH 7 of 24.25 MPa.Keywords: Electroplating, pH variation, adhesion strength, thickness, Steel ST41, Nickel.

Summary
Elektroplating berasal dari dua kata dasar yaitu elektro dan plating atau listrik dan pelapis yang mempunyai arti bahwa dalam suatu pelapisan yang disebut elektroplating adalah suatu pelapisan dimana pelapisan itu menggunakan listrik untuk melapisi logam antara bahan pelapis (anoda) dan yang akan dilapisi (katoda), dengan menggunakan arus listrik searah (DC). Pada prinsip kerjanya logam akan mengalami perubahan kimia secara fisik salah satu dari logam tersebut akan yang melepaskan ion-ion dan sebaliknya ada yang akan mengikat ion-ion yang terlepas akibat adanya energi listrik [6]
