We all know that the outer plating layer of many daily-use hardware and decorative parts is basically chrome-plated. Do you know what is the function of this chrome-plated layer deposited by us using chrome-plating additives?
As we all know, in the production process of using bright acid copper additives, the content of chlorine ions in the plating solution is too high or too low will affect the quality of the plated layer. So how do we determine the content of chloride ions in the plating solution during production?
In the process of using chrome plating additives, the plating solution is sensitive to impurities, and a high content of impurities will affect the brightness of the plated layer as well as the performance quality of the plated layer. So what are the impurities that affect the plating solution?
Potassium chloride galvanizing brightener is widely used for its advantages of low preparation cost, fast light up and good brightness. The correct replenishment of KCl galvanizing brightener is the key, Bigelow suggests that customers should pay attention to these points in the replenishment process:
After preparing a plating solution with alkaline galvanizing additives, why does the plated layer appear to be darkened, fogged, or partially blackened?
Alkaline copper plating can be applied directly to steel, copper alloys and zinc alloys, and the bonding of the plated layer is usually very good. However, when using alkaline copper plating additives, poor bonding can sometimes occur due to poor process operation or when the composition of the plating solution is not within the process range.
