Electroplating
Context:
"Nach einer Unterbrechung des Versilberungsprozesses, muss zur Weiterführung der Versilberung durch einen Deckstrom von 1,5 bis 4,5 A/dm² und 6 - 10 Sekunden lang aktiviert werden."
Re. silver plating. Not sure about either the term "Deckstrom" itself or indeed the phrase "durch einen Deckstrom". Is it necessary to activate the current (Deckstrom), or to (re)activate the process by applying the current?
* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: technical instruction
* Target audience: Aerospace engineers
* Country and dialect (source): German
* Country and dialect (target): American English

"After interrupting the silver plating process, it is necessary to activate a current of 1.5 to 4.5 A/dm² and 6 - 10 seconds to continue the silver plating process."
More likely draft:
"After interrupting the silver plating process, it is necessary to apply a current of 1.5 to 4.5 A/dm² for 6 - 10 seconds to reactivate/continue the silver plating process."
