Everyone knows that electroplating is a very important process for casters, but why should casters be electroplated? What role does electroplating play for casters? Next, Globe Caster will give you a detailed introduction.

What is caster plating

When casters are electroplated, the plated metal or other insoluble materials are used as the anode, and the metal product to be plated is used as the cathode. The cations of the plated metal are reduced on the metal surface to form a coating. In order to eliminate the interference of other cations and make the coating uniform and firm, it is necessary to use a solution containing the coating metal cations as the caster electroplating solution to keep the concentration of the coating metal cations unchanged. The purpose of caster electroplating is to plate a metal coating on the substrate to change the surface properties or dimensions of the substrate. Caster electroplating can enhance the corrosion resistance of the metal (the coating metal is mostly corrosion-resistant metal), increase the hardness, prevent abrasion, and improve the conductivity Performance, lubricity, heat resistance, and beautiful surface.

The role of caster plating

A technology that uses electrolysis to deposit a metal coating with good adhesion but different properties from the base material on mechanical products. The caster electroplating layer is more uniform than the hot dip layer, generally thinner, ranging from a few microns to tens of microns. Through caster electroplating, you can obtain decorative protective and various functional surface layers on mechanical products, and can also repair worn and processed workpieces. The coating layer is mostly a single metal or alloy, such as titanium target, zinc, cadmium, gold or brass, bronze, etc.; there are also dispersion layers, such as nickel-silicon carbide, nickel-graphite fluoride, etc.; there are also clad layers, such as steel The copper-nickel-chromium layer, the silver-indium layer on the steel, etc. In addition to iron-based cast iron, steel and stainless steel, the base material of caster electroplating includes non-ferrous metals, such as ABS plastic, polypropylene, polysulfone and phenolic plastic, but plastic casters must undergo special activation and sensitization treatment before electroplating .

Globe Caster pays attention to the importance of electroplating in the production process. At the same time, it has a complete management system and internal processes. The goods are shipped through close inspections. Customers are welcome to order all kinds of casters.
