What is Semi-Automatic Plating?

Semi-automatic plating is a hybrid electrochemical process that applies a zinc coating to metal surfaces, like steel, to prevent corrosion. It combines manual control with automated precision, ensuring consistent zinc deposition while leveraging zinc’s sacrificial properties to protect the base metal and extend component lifespan in harsh environments.

Semi-Automatic Plating Machine Process: Electrolysis to Passivation - Wenbo

1

Component Loading

The operator manually loads the metal components (e.g., steel parts) onto the plating racks or barrels, ensuring proper positioning for uniform coating.

2

Surface Cleaning (Degreasing)

Components are immersed in a degreasing solution to remove oils, grease, and dirt from the surface, preparing them for further treatment.

3

Water Rinsing (Post-Degreasing)

Parts are rinsed with water to remove any residual degreasing solution, ensuring a clean surface for the next step.

4

Pickling (Acid Cleaning)

The components are dipped in an acid solution (e.g., hydrochloric or sulfuric acid) to remove rust, scale, and oxides, exposing a clean metal surface.

5

Water Rinsing (Post-Pickling)

A second water rinse removes acid residues, preventing contamination of subsequent solutions.

6

Surface Activation

Components are briefly immersed in an activation solution (e.g., a mild acid or alkaline bath) to enhance adhesion of the zinc coating during electrolysis.

7

Electrolysis Setup

The operator places the components into the plating tank, connecting them to the cathode, while a zinc anode is set up in the electrolyte solution.

8

Zinc Electroplating (Electrolysis)

The machine applies a controlled electric current, causing zinc ions from the anode to deposit onto the component’s surface, forming a protective zinc layer.

9

Post-Plating Rinsing

After plating, components are rinsed with water to remove excess electrolyte solution and prevent contamination of subsequent baths.

10

Brightening (Optional)

Components may be dipped in a brightening solution to enhance the aesthetic finish of the zinc coating, giving it a shiny, polished appearance.

11

Passivation Preparation Rinse

A final water rinse ensures the components are clean and free of residues before the passivation step.

12

Passivation

The components are immersed in a passivation solution (e.g., a chromate or non-chromate bath) to form a protective layer over the zinc coating, enhancing corrosion resistance.

13

Final Rinsing

A thorough water rinse removes any passivation solution residues, ensuring the components are clean and ready for drying.

14

Drying and Unloading

The components are dried using hot air or a centrifugal dryer, after which the operator unloads them from the racks or barrels, completing the process.
