Steel Hard Chrome Plating Machine 0.2um Coating Thickness
1. Technological process of production
Blank inspection → racking → chemical degreasing → water washing → electrolytic degreasing → water washing → Anodizing (in chromium plating bath) → chromium electroplating → recycling → water washing → put down → water washing → drying → inspection → hydrogen removal → packaging
2. Main process introduction
Chemical degreasing:remove the oil on the surface of products
Electrolytic degreasing: further remove the oil on the surface of products to ensure the binding force of the coating .
Pickling: remove the oxide from the surface of products and activate the product surface .
Water rinsing: clean the product thoroughly after the tank to avoid mutual contamination of the tank.
Anodizing:Let the surface of the steel substrate be in an activated state and produce micro rough surfaces, and then proceed with plating. Ensure obtaining a hard chromium coating with good adhesion.
Chrome plating: the product is coated with a uniform coating.
Hydrogen removal:reduce the brittleness of chromium plating and clean the hydrogen embrittlement of the base metal.

5.Common faults and solutions
| Common faults | Cause of occurrence | Solution |
| Insufficient thickness | Insufficient power supply | Increase power consumption |
| Low current efficiency | Adjusting plating solution and process parameters | |
| The coating is corrugated and cracked | There is stress on the surface of the part | Improving the surface machining quality before plating |
| Heat treatment to eliminate surface stress | ||
| Surface burrs | High current density | Reduce current density |
| Surface peeling and pitting | Inadequate pre-treatment | Strengthen pre-treatment |
