Hard Chrome Plating Equipment Process: Electrolysis to Passivation - Wenbo

Surface Inspection

Purpose: Identify defects or irregularities on the metal surface before plating.
Method: Visually inspect and use magnifying tools to check for scratches, dents, or corrosion.

Mechanical Polishing

Purpose: Smooth the metal surface to ensure uniform plating adhesion.
Method: Use abrasive tools like sandpaper or polishing wheels to remove surface imperfections.

Solvent Cleaning

Purpose: Eliminate surface oils and dirt to prepare for further cleaning.
Method: Wipe the surface with a solvent-soaked cloth, such as acetone or alcohol.

Alkaline Soak

Purpose: Break down stubborn organic residues on the metal surface.
Method: Soak the part in a heated alkaline solution for a specified duration.

Acid Etching

Purpose: Remove oxides and activate the metal surface for plating.
Method: Dip the part in a diluted acid solution, such as sulfuric acid, for a short period.

Rinse with Deionized Water

Purpose: Remove acid residues to prevent contamination in the plating bath.
Method: Submerge the part in deionized water to ensure a clean surface.

Pre-Heating

Purpose: Raise the temperature of the part to match the plating bath conditions.
Method: Place the part in an oven or heated chamber at a controlled temperature.

Purpose: Raise the temperature of the part to match the plating bath conditions. Method: Place the part in an oven or heated chamber at a controlled temperature.

Purpose: Ensure the plating solution is ready for effective chrome deposition.
Method: Mix chromic acid and catalysts in the correct proportions in the plating tank.

Anode Placement

Purpose: Set up the electrical circuit for efficient current flow during plating.
Method: Position lead anodes symmetrically around the part in the plating tank.

Chrome Plating

Purpose: Deposit a hard chrome layer onto the metal surface for durability.
Method: Apply a direct current to the part (cathode) in the chromic acid bath for a set time.

Post-Plating Rinse

Purpose: Remove excess chromic acid and prevent surface staining.
Method: Rinse the part in clean water immediately after removing it from the plating bath.

Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief

Purpose: Reduce internal stresses in the plated part caused by hydrogen absorption.
Method: Bake the part in an oven at a low temperature (around 200°C) for several hours.

Surface Passivation

Purpose: Enhance corrosion resistance of the chrome layer.
Method: Immerse the part in a passivation solution, such as a nitric acid-based mix.

Final Inspection

Purpose: Verify the quality and thickness of the chrome plating.
Method: Use a thickness gauge and visual inspection to check for uniformity and defects.
