Why is it necessary to monitor whether the temperature is normal every two hours when using nickel plating brightener?

In the actual production of electroplating production lines, operators need to control a large number of parameters (dozens), and each parameter is constantly changing. Even more advanced production processes, instruments, meters and equipment often malfunction, leading to monitoring failure and abnormal quality.

To avoid the influence of these factors, Bigely suggests that electroplating plants need to monitor parameters such as bath solution temperature every two hours and adjust them to the standard values in a timely manner, which can prevent the occurrence of such abnormalities. The control of components and data processing, in accordance with the principle of component control, determine the detection cycle, and conduct regular analysis and adjustment to ensure the stability of components.

Why is it set at two hours when formulating the monitoring cycle for process parameters? Rather than three hours or four hours?

Let's take the nickel plating solution (with nickel plating brightener added) as an example to illustrate: If the heating is damaged, the temperature drop of the bath solution is about 1.5℃ per hour. After two hours, the temperature will drop by 3℃. If it is not adjusted in time, it will soon drop to the control lower limit, and then the coating will malfunction.

If the temperature controller loses control, it will cause the heating rod to continuously heat up, which will accelerate the rise rate of the bath solution temperature. According to the design principle, the general heating rate is 5 to 6℃ per hour. Thus, through monitoring, any abnormalities of the equipment can be detected in a timely manner to prevent quality problems caused by abnormalities in the instruments, meters and equipment.
