Copper bussing is crucial in chrome plating applications due to several reasons related to its role in the electroplating process: Don’t forget to visit our rectifier page.

1. Conductivity:

• High Electrical Conductivity: Copper has excellent electrical conductivity, which is essential for uniformly distributing the electrical current across the surface of the part being plated. This ensures consistent deposition of the chromium layer.

• Reduced Voltage Drop: Copper’s low resistance minimizes voltage drops, allowing for efficient energy use and more precise control over the plating process.

2. Uniform Current Distribution:

• Even Plating: Proper bussing ensures that the electrical current is distributed evenly across all parts of the surface. This is critical for achieving a uniform chrome layer, avoiding thin spots or uneven coating that could lead to defects in the finished product.

3. Durability:

• Mechanical Strength: Copper bussing is robust and can handle the mechanical stresses of the plating process, including the weight of the parts and the force required to maintain good electrical contact.

• Corrosion Resistance: Copper is relatively resistant to corrosion in the environment of the plating bath, which helps maintain consistent performance over time.

4. Heat Management:

• Efficient Heat Dissipation: During the plating process, heat is generated due to the flow of current. Copper’s excellent thermal conductivity helps dissipate this heat, preventing overheating and potential damage to both the equipment and the workpiece.

5. Cost-Effectiveness:

• Material Availability and Cost: Copper is relatively cost-effective compared to other highly conductive materials like silver or gold, making it a practical choice for large-scale industrial applications.

In summary, copper bussing is essential for ensuring a reliable, efficient, and high-quality chrome plating process. Its electrical and thermal properties, along with its durability, make it the preferred choice for this application.

Electroless Nickel plating line.

Plating International, Inc. Modular Plating Lines offer several advantages for your plating operation. With these lines, you can enhance your plating capabilities and expand your business in a cost-effective manner. Here are some key features:

1. Pre-assembled: The lines are delivered to you in a pre-assembled state, saving time and effort in installation and setup.

2. Auto fill and auto feed: The lines are equipped with automatic filling and feeding systems, reducing manual labor and ensuring consistent and efficient plating processes.

3. Micro boilers or traditional electric heaters: Depending on your requirements and preferences, you have the option to choose between micro boilers or traditional electric heaters for the plating process. We prefer micro boilers because they are more efficient, use less energy, and most importantly reduce the risk of a fire in your plating shop

4. Complete control panel: The lines come with a comprehensive control panel that allows you to monitor and adjust various parameters, ensuring precise control over the plating process.

5. Full ventilation: Proper ventilation is essential in plating operations to maintain a safe and healthy working environment. These lines are equipped with full ventilation systems to effectively remove fumes and ensure air quality.

6. 3 to 4 month lead times: Plating International, Inc. aims to deliver the modular plating lines within a reasonable lead time of 3-4 months, allowing you to plan your operations accordingly.

By offering these features, our Modular Plating Lines aim to simplify the process of setting up or expanding a plating operation, providing a convenient and efficient solution for businesses in the plating industry.

Having your Electroless nickel tank properly designed and built is critical to having a sustainable EN operation. Poly/Co poly or Stainless Steel will work best.

Polypropylene Natural, stress-relieved polypropylene is well regarded for tank construction, as it is inert to plating solutions. Tanks are easily fabricated, and when using proper nitrogen welding techniques, are fairly reliable. The relative low cost and versatility of design considerations make polypropylene the most widely used material of construction for electroless nickel tanks.

Stainless steel tanks have infinite life spans. Electroless nickel, however, will plate onto the stainless steel tank walls, and these tanks may prove expensive to operate because of periodic plate out, which necessitates downtime for tank stripping and clean-up. Satisfactory operation has been sustained using well-stabilized electroless nickel solutions with one or more of the following techniques: Chemical Passivation, Applied Anodic current to take during operation, & Bag liners
