Matte tin plating is a widely used electroplating process used to deposit a uniform layer of tin on metal surfaces to provide corrosion protection, increase solderability and enhance appearance. This tin layer has a certain "matte" or "non-glossy" effect, as opposed to shiny tin plating, and is characterized by the following:
In the hard chrome plating process, the dispersing ability of the plating solution plays a vital role in the quality of the plated layer. Dispersing ability refers to the ability of the metal ions in the plating solution to deposit uniformly on the electrode surface. Improving the dispersing ability of the plating solution results in a more uniform and defect-free coating, which improves the wear and corrosion resistance of the parts. The following are some of the main factors that affect the dispersing ability of hard chrome plating solutions.
In the sulfamate nickel plating process, excessive impurities in the plating solution, especially iron impurities, can seriously affect the quality of the final plated layer. In order to ensure a homogeneous and defect-free plating layer, timely and effective removal of iron impurities is essential. Bigely impurity remover Ni-391 for nickel plating provides a reliable solution to this problem.
Some customers ask why the pre-treatment step of degreasing should be added before tin plating of cold rolled steel plates? And how to choose the right steel electrolytic degreasing powder?
In the pre-treatment stage of the plating process, conventional pickling processes (hydrochloric acid, etc.) are usually used to remove oxidized layers and rust from the surface of the workpiece. However, this process can lead to hydrogen embrittlement of the plated layer, which significantly affects the mechanical properties and service life of the plated product. Hydrogen embrittlement is a phenomenon in which the ductility and toughness of a material are significantly reduced in the presence of hydrogen, leading to an increase in its brittleness and susceptibility to fracture during use.
In the electroplating process, removing wax is an easily overlooked but important production process. In this article, we will introduce the definition of dewaxing water and the role of Bigely dewaxing water in the electroplating production process.
