In the field of hard chrome plating, the use of hard chrome additives is one of the key factors in optimizing the performance of the plating solution and enhancing the quality of the plated layer. The deep plating capability of the bath refers to the ability of the chromium layer to deposit uniformly in the deep concave parts of the workpiece during the plating process, and this attribute is crucial for parts with complex shapes, deep holes or slits. Additives directly affect the conductivity, ion distribution and current density of the bath, which in turn affects the deposition rate and quality of the plated layer.
Bigely hard chrome additives increase the deposition rate of the plated layer in hard-to-reach areas by altering the structure and kinetic processes of the chromate electrolyte. Certain surfactant additives significantly reduce the surface tension of the electrolyte and increase the wettability of the solution on the surface of the workpiece, thereby enhancing the penetration and encapsulation capabilities of the plating solution.
Wetting agent additives, especially those containing long-chain organic molecules, can form microscopic bubbles in the electroplating process, which helps to break the flow inertia of the electrolyte, and is beneficial to enhance the uniformity of the plated layer in the deep concave part of the workpiece. Additives such as brighteners and stabilizers can prevent the electrolyte from decomposing and ensure a balanced distribution of the current, so that the deep-plated parts can also be relatively high current density, which is conducive to the uniform growth of the chromium layer in the part.
The debugger of the plating process must understand the nature of the additives used and their mechanism of action in the plating system, in order to effectively adjust the concentration of the additives and the ratio between the main salts, so as to optimize the deep plating ability of the plating solution, and comprehensively improve the overall performance of the plating layer. Therefore, when customers use Bigely hard chrome additives, we will arrange technical engineers to provide technical consulting services to answer customers' questions about product proportioning.
