Electroplating process

The electroplating process involves multiple steps to ensure the final coating quality and performance are as expected. The following is the basic process flow of electroplating:

1. Hanging: Fix the parts to be electroplated on the conductive tool to form a closed loop with the power source to prepare for the electroplating process.
2. Degreasing and degreasing: Clean the surface of parts and remove impurities such as grease, dust, etc. These impurities will affect the subsequent plating effect and the appearance of the part surface.
3. Water washing: Clean away the chemical substances and impurities remaining on the surface of the parts during the degreasing and oil removal process.
4. Pickling activation: Through the corrosive effect of acid solution, the oxide scale and rust on the metal surface are removed, ensuring the cleanliness and activity of the surface of the parts, and providing a good base for electroplating.
5. Electroplating: In the electroplating tank, the parts serve as cathodes and are immersed in the plating solution together with the anode (plated metal). After energization, the metal ions of the coating are reduced on the surface of the part to form the required metal coating.
6. Post-processing: Carry out some post-processing as needed, such as passivation, sealing, etc., to enhance the performance and appearance of the coating.
7. Water washing: Clean away the plating solution and impurities remaining on the surface of the parts during the electroplating process.
8. Drying: Dry the parts to ensure that no moisture remains on the surface.
9. Hanging and inspection packaging: Remove the parts from the conductive tools, and conduct quality inspection and packaging to ensure the plating quality and meet customer needs.

During the electroplating process, it is also necessary to pay attention to standardized operations, such as controlling the current density, periodically changing the direction of the current, controlling the temperature of the plating solution, and stirring the plating solution, to ensure the uniformity, flatness and brightness of the coating. In addition, depending on specific needs and material types, special treatments such as pre-plating and nickel bottom plating can also be performed to improve the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the coating.
