When carrying out chrome plating treatment, you need to pay attention to the following matters to ensure safety and improve quality.
- Selection of suitable chrome plating process
Different chrome plating processes are applicable to different workpiece materials and requirements, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate chrome plating process according to the specific situation. For example, decorative chrome plating is suitable for workpieces with high requirements for surface gloss, while hard chrome plating is suitable for workpieces with high requirements for wear resistance and corrosion resistance. In addition, it is also necessary to choose the appropriate chrome plating method and equipment according to the shape and size of the workpiece.
- Control the thickness of the chrome layer
The thickness of the chromium plating layer will affect its performance and appearance, and it is necessary to control the thickness of the chromium plating layer according to specific requirements. Generally speaking, the thinner chrome layer has better gloss and aesthetics, but poorer wear resistance and corrosion resistance; while the thicker chrome layer has better wear resistance and corrosion resistance, but poorer gloss and aesthetics. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate thickness of the chromium plating layer according to the specific requirements.
- Pay attention to the bonding force of the chromium plating layer
The bonding force of the chromium plating layer is an important factor affecting its service life, so it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the bonding force of the chromium plating layer. Generally speaking, the bonding force of the chromium plating layer is related to the surface state of the base material, the pretreatment process before chromium plating and the chromium plating process. Therefore, before chromium plating treatment, it is necessary to carry out appropriate pretreatment of the substrate material, such as grinding, cleaning and so on, in order to improve the bonding force of the chromium plating layer.
- Control the environmental conditions of chrome plating treatment
The environmental conditions of chromium plating treatment will affect the quality and performance of the chromium plating layer, so it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the environmental conditions of chromium plating treatment. For example, temperature, humidity, cleanliness, etc. will affect the quality and performance of the chrome layer. Therefore, in the chromium plating treatment, need to control the environmental conditions to ensure the quality and performance of the chromium plating layer.
- Pay attention to operational safety
In the chromium plating treatment, will produce chromium-containing wastewater and exhaust gas, a certain degree of environmental pollution, but also produces a certain amount of noise and dust, the operator’s physical health has a certain impact. Therefore, in the chromium plating treatment, need to pay attention to operational safety, take the necessary protective measures, such as wearing protective gear, keep the working environment clean, etc., in order to protect the health of the operator and the safety of the environment.
- Pay attention to the maintenance and maintenance
Chrome plating layer will be subject to different degrees of wear and corrosion in the process of use, so it is necessary to pay attention to the maintenance and maintenance of chrome plating layer. For example, avoid contact with hard objects in the process of use, regular cleaning and maintenance, etc., in order to extend the service life of the chromium-plated layer and maintain the aesthetic properties.
Summarization
To summarize, when carrying out chrome plating treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to choosing suitable chrome plating process, controlling the thickness and bonding force of chrome plating layer, controlling the environmental conditions of chrome plating treatment, paying attention to the operation safety as well as the maintenance and repair, etc., in order to guarantee the safety and improve the quality.
