Do you know the prototype electroplating process? Next, Xiehe Prototype Processing Manufacturer will give you a brief introduction.

Prototype electroplating is a process that uses the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal surfaces. It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts to prevent Metal oxidation (such as rust), improves wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance (copper sulfate, etc.) and improves appearance. The outer layer of many coins is also electroplated.

When electroplating a prototype model, the coating metal or other insoluble material is used as the anode, and the workpiece to be plated is used as the cathode. The cations of the coating 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 strong, a solution containing coating metal cations must be used as the electroplating solution to keep the concentration of coating metal cations unchanged. The purpose of electroplating is to deposit a metal coating on the substrate and change the surface properties or dimensions of the substrate. Electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of metal (coated metals are mostly corrosion-resistant metals), increase hardness, prevent wear, improve conductivity, smoothness, heat resistance and surface beauty.

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 products of general size, such as car bumpers, bicycle handlebars, etc. Barrel plating is suitable for small parts, fasteners, washers, pins, etc. Continuous plating is suitable for batch production of wire and strip. Brush plating is suitable for local plating or repair. Electroplating solutions include acidic, alkaline, acidic and neutral solutions with added chromium compounds. No matter what plating method is used, the plating tank, hangers, etc. that come into contact with the products to be plated and the plating solution should have a certain degree of safety. Versatility.
