Semi-bright nickel plating is a very common type of nickel coating in the plating industry, which is intermediate between bright nickel and non-glossy (matte or dull nickel), and is intended to provide a surface coating that meets certain mechanical and industrial performance requirements while also having a certain aesthetic appeal. Typical characteristics of semi-bright nickel include a more uniformly smooth surface and a moderately light-reflective gloss, but not as highly reflective and mirror-like as bright nickel.
In the electroplating industry, the bright acid copper process is favored for its ability to produce a bright and flat plated appearance and fast deposition rate. However, the oxidization and discoloration of the plated layer has always been a problem for plating workers. In this issue, we will discuss the causes of oxidation and discoloration of the plated layer, and introduce how to use the right acid copper brightener.
Acid pickling and descaling is a crucial part of the plating pretreatment process. The main purpose of this step is to remove oxides and rust from the metal surface and provide a clean, active metal surface for the subsequent plating process. However, the mere process of pickling is often accompanied by a potential risk of corrosion to the metal substrate, making the addition of corrosion inhibitors an indispensable measure.
In the plating industry, the problem of watermarking after workpiece plating has always been the focus of manufacturers' attention. The watermark not only affects the appearance quality of the product, but also may adversely affect the corrosion resistance and other properties of the plated layer. To address this issue, Bigely Technology offers a dewatering agent that is dedicated to helping plating manufacturers solve the watermarking nuisance.
Zinc-nickel alloy plating has been put into production applications in the field of electroplating production due to its good corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and other advantages. In order to ensure the quality of the plated layer, the zinc-nickel alloy plated product usually needs to be passivated, of which black passivation is a very important method. Bigely zinc-nickel alloy black passivator plays a major role in electroplating production in the following ways:
When performing electroless nickel plating production, the performance of electroless nickel plating solutions is closely linked to the productivity of the plating plant, the quality of the plated layer and cost control, while the technical service of the supplier is the key to ensure the stable performance of these elements. Why? There are three reasons.
