Subject: Soft iron electroplate?

Is there some way to lay down an electroplated layer of iron?  Anybody
have any info on solutions, current densities, etc?  Seems like it could
be done and I need it for a special project.

Thanks!

   If I am correct, some good soldering irons have a coating of iron. If
so, plating must be possible. Calling Weller might at least confirm
whether they are so plated. I don't know any more.
   Please post  your findings.

Radio Shack does (or did, haven't bought any new ones lately) sell
iron coated (plated?) tips for their component style soldering iron.
The iron coated tips have much better wear characteristics than the
plain copper.

Hope this helps
