In a nutshell, electroplating is a process of plating/coating a piece of metal with another metal by the process of electro-deposition. It is similar to adding a new skin to metal to make it attractive and durable.

What is the process of electroplating?

As the name suggest, electroplating is a process of deposition or plating. In the process, the metal which has to be electroplated is dipped in a tank full of electrolyte solution. In this tank the metal act as cathode and another anode is already there in the tank. Later, Direct current Is passed through the tank and this results in the formation of ions that sticks to the surface of the metal. This results in the electro-plating of the metal.

Material suitable for electroplating?

 Uses of electroplating?

Plating ads properties to the metal.

The core metal which is electroplated may not have the properties as the metal that is coated on it, has. This makes it super use full for the industries. In the telecom sector, the copper conductors are coated with silver as silver has best conductivity to the electric current. This helps the businesses in cost cutting as they do not have to use the whole silver wire, but just coating of it.

Protective barrier.

Electroplating a metal is like giving a new skin to the metal. we can coat a reactive metal with less reactive metal and this will help the metal to survive longer. A reactive metal reacts with the atmosphere and corrodes very soon but by coating it with the less reactive breaks the contact of the atmospheric condition and the core metal.

 Thickness.

There are many ways of cover the metal body like paint, anodizing, etc. if you need a thick layer of covering to your metal, electroplating is the way. Electroplating gives a thick layer of protection to the metal than any other process.

Finishing

Electroplating is largely used to enhance the appearance of the metal. often the jewellery which is made of a cheaper material is plated with gold or silver to make it look attractive and beautiful. Similarly, the old metal components are electro-plated with which c gives it completely a fresh look.

Insulation.

Electroplating is also used as for insulating a material. Coating isolates the parts from electrical currents passing through. It prevents static build up and materials from clinging, most especially to the substrate. That’s why coating is used in copy rollers, print industry equipment, and beverage filling probes.

titanium anodizing

What is anodizing?

Anodizing is an electrolytic process where the surface of the metal oxidised. The oxide formed on the surface works as a shield to the inner metal and protects it from the outer environment.

In this process the metal is places in a tank full of electrolyte solution and a high voltage current is passed through the tank. This current oxidise the surface of the metal and act as shield to the metal.

Aluminium is the majorly used metal in anodizing. most of the metal that are anodized are aluminium or its alloy. Magnesium, titanium, zinc are other metals which are anodized.

Where it is used?

Anodized is an inevitable for almost all the manufacturing industries.

The kind of advantage anodizing gives, makes it useful for all the metal based manufacturing.

Anodizing is most common for improving corrosion resistance on certain alloys, particularly those that are subject to marine environments – things like ship hulls, dock components and oil rig structures, for example. It's also used for abrasion control, and is common in sandpapers because of its high hardness.

Benefits of anodizing

Durability:

in anodizing the surface of the metal get coated with the non-metallic oxide. This prevents the contact of the metal from outside environment, making it more durable and strong

 Finishing

In the process the metal gets attractive finishing. Surface can either get colour or clear finishing, depending on the need but both looks shiny and attractive

 Ease of maintenance

Scars and wear from fabrication, handling, installation, frequent surface dirt cleaning and usage are virtually non-existent. Rinsing or mild soap and water cleaning usually will restore an anodized surface to its original appearance. Mild abrasive cleaners can be used for more difficult deposits.

 Cost:

overall the anodizing helps in cost cutting to the businesses. Once the metal is anodized it hardly needs any maintenance. The life cycle of the metal is increased so the replacement of the metal machinery or any anodized metal is decreased. In the initial anodizing cost bit more than paint but later unlike anodizing paint has to be done again and again frequently.

Safety

Anodizing is an electrolytic process where the surface of the metal is oxidised. In this process the metal is placed in a tank full of electrolytic solution and a high voltage current is passed through the tank. This current oxidise the surface of the metal and a thick layer of the oxide is formed.

Aluminium is the majorly used metal for anodizing. there are other metals which are used for anodizing like titanium, magnesium, zinc etc.

 Anodizing is a real boon the manufacturing sector. Almost all the manufacturing sector related to metals uses anodizing. anodizing can be makes the surface of the metal harder and attractive and hence it is used in almost all the metal gadgets. In automobile sector, engine manufacturing, space crafts, aeroplanes etc.

There are many benefits anodizing to the metal which are as follows

Safety

Hard coating is process by which the surface of the metal is hardened. This process was invented in Russia for the surface of the space crafts. In this process, high intensity current is passed through the electrolytic solution. This forms a thick layer of oxide on the metal surface. This process turns metal surface harder than steel.

 Benefits of hard anodizing

Hard coat aluminium anodizing services with Arrow Cryogenics provides anodized aluminium coating that meets Military Standard Specifications MIL-A-8625 and is available in Type III Class 1 (Non-Dyed) and Class 2 (Dyed) options.
