Do you know the electroplating process of the rapid prototype? Next, the Xiehe prototype processing factory will give you a brief introduction.

Shouban model electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on some metal surfaces by using the principle of electrolysis. It is a process of using electrolysis to attach a layer of metal film to the surface of metal or other materials to prevent Metal oxidation (such as rust), improve wear resistance, electrical conductivity, reflective properties, corrosion resistance (copper sulfate, etc.) and enhance the appearance. The outer layer of many coins is also electroplated.

During the electroplating of the prototype model, the plated metal or other insoluble materials are used as the anode, and the workpiece to be plated is used as the cathode, and the cations of the plated metal are reduced on the surface of the workpiece to be plated to form a coating. In order to eliminate the interference of other cations and make the coating uniform and firm, it is necessary to use a solution containing metal cations as the electroplating solution to keep the concentration of metal cations in the coating constant.

The purpose of electroplating is to plate a metal coating on the substrate to change the surface properties or dimensions of the substrate. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of metals (mostly coated metals are made of corrosion-resistant metals), increase hardness, prevent wear, improve electrical conductivity, smoothness, heat resistance and beautiful surface.

Model electroplating is divided into rack plating, barrel plating, continuous plating and brush plating, which are mainly related to the size and batch size of the parts to be plated. Rack plating is suitable for general-sized products, such as car bumpers, bicycle handlebars, etc. Barrel plating is suitable for small parts, fasteners, washers, pins, etc. Continuous plating is suitable for mass-produced wire and strip. Brush plating is suitable for partial plating or restoration.

The electroplating solution includes acidic, alkaline, acidic and neutral solutions with chromium admixture. No matter what kind of plating method is used, the plating tanks and hanging tools that are in contact with the products to be plated and the plating solution should have a certain degree of safety.
