Kumukūʻai-kūpono
Electroplating can be a more affordable option compared to alternative surface treatments like powder coating or physical vapor deposition (Pvd).
Types of Electroplating Offered by DEZE
Nickel Plating
Nickel is one of the most widely used metals in electroplating due to its excellent corrosion resistance, ʻO paʻakikī paʻakikī, and good wear resistance. Nickel electroplating forms a thin, durable layer on various substrates, providing protection from oxidation and enhancing the mechanical properties of the surface.
Nā hiʻohiʻona: Enhanced wear resistance, pale pale, polished or matte finish, excellent adhesion, ideal as a base layer for chrome or gold coatings.
ʻO Zinc Place
Zinc plating involves applying a thin layer of zinc to a metal substrate, offering corrosion protection, especially in outdoor environments.
Nā hiʻohiʻona: Offers corrosion resistance, enhances durability, and provides a shiny or matte finish, commonly used to protect steel and iron components.
Chrome Plating
Chrome plating adds a thin chromium layer to a substrate, providing a shiny, mirror-like finish. It enhances corrosion, ʻaʻa, and scratch resistance.
Nā hiʻohiʻona: Increases surface hardness, improves wear and corrosion resistance, and delivers a high-gloss, reflective finish.
Gold Plating
Gold plating is used for its excellent electrical conductivity and aesthetic appeal. It provides low electrical resistance and high corrosion resistance.
Nā hiʻohiʻona: Provides excellent corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and a luxurious finish.
Silver Plating
Silver electroplating offers superior conductivity and oxidation resistance, commonly used in electrical components. Its anti-bacterial properties also make it suitable for medical and food-related applications.
Nā hiʻohiʻona: Improves corrosion resistance, enhances appearance with a shiny finish, and is widely used in jewelry, cutlery, and electrical contacts.
Copper Plating
Copper electroplating is essential for creating conductive surfaces in printed circuit boards (Pcs) a me na uila. It is widely used for its electrical conductivity and as a base layer for further electroplating applications like gold or silver.
Nā hiʻohiʻona: Enhances conductivity, Ke kū'ē neiʻo Corrosionion, and smoothness.
Electroplating Considerations
- ʻO nā kūpono kūpono: Choose plating materials that are compatible with the base metal to avoid issues such as adhesion failure or corrosion. Common plating metals include copper, nickel, gula, and chrome.
- ʻOihana hoʻomākaukau: Proper surface cleaning and preparation are essential. This may involve processes like degreasing, rust removal, and etching to enhance adhesion.
- Plating Thickness: Determine the appropriate thickness of the plating layer, which affects durability, Ke kū'ē neiʻo Corrosionion, and conductivity. Balancing functional requirements with cost is crucial.
- Nā Pīkuhi Propertinies: Assess how the plating affects the mechanical properties of the underlying metal, such as tensile strength and hardness.
