For mm-wave experiments executed at low temperatures, it is desirable to use a stainless-steel waveguide in the refrigerator for thermal isolation and to plate the waveguide with a higher conductive metallic layer to reduce microwave attenuation. While the electroplating of metal on stainless-steel is a well-established procedure, there are...
