• Mr. Li is the owner of an electroplating factory in Xiamen, Fujian, China, specializing in chemical plating of PCB components. Due to the lack of catalytic activating centers on the inner non-metallic surfaces of PCB components, they cannot be directly chemically plated. Therefore, they need to be activated. However, after using a certain brand of colloidal palladium activator, Mr. Li found that the adhesion of the plating layer on the workpiece was poor, and it was prone to peeling off. Moreover, the solderability of the plating layer was also poor. Therefore, Mr. Li wanted to find a better colloidal palladium activator with better performance.

  • In the manufacturing process of electronic products, discoloration and reflux phenomenon often occur in copper parts after tin plating and high temperature soldering, which not only affects the appearance quality of the product, but also may lead to its functional failure, and cannot meet the strict requirements of electronic connector manufacturers for high temperature soldering. In the face of this technical problem, Bigely Technology, with years of experience in plating technology research and development, launched a high temperature nickel additive Ni-3000, which provides a practical solution for plating factories.

  • Mr. He in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, is a boss engaged in various electronic components electroplating tin. Recently, Mr. He found in production that the plating solution is easy to turbidity after using fog tin additives, and the plating solution must be treated once every three or five days, so the processing cost of the plating solution is high. So Mr. He wants to replace a good performance of methylsulfonic acid matte tin additive.

  • In daily industrial production, decorative chrome plating is widely used in many fields such as automotive parts, home appliances and hardware tools due to its beautiful appearance, strong corrosion resistance and high hardness. However, in the process of using decorative chrome additives, the quality of the plating layer may be affected by a number of factors, resulting in a variety of defects in the plating layer, among which the scorching of the plating layer is a relatively common and influential problem. In this paper, we will focus on the problem of decorative chrome plating scorching, discuss its causes, analyze how to effectively solve this problem, and help practitioners to improve the quality of plating and ensure production efficiency.
