Does plating line opening and pumping consume brightener?
Author:Robby
Plating line open gas will have a certain impact on the consumption of brightener, but the degree of impact depends on the type of brightener used and the conditions of use.
First, the effect of gas on the plating process
In the electroplating process, gas can accelerate the convection of the solution, promote ion transportation, improve the speed and efficiency of material exchange, thereby improving the quality and performance of the plating layer. On the other hand, the gas can also break up the electrolyte mass on the surface of the solution when the electrolytic bath overflows, reduce the size of the bubbles, and help the hydrogen release on the surface, play a role in promoting the prevention of hydrogen embrittlement.
Second, the relationship between the plating line open air and brightener
Plating line open air will have a certain impact on the consumption of brightener. On the one hand, the right amount of air bubbles can promote the convection and ion transportation of plating solution, thus accelerating the rate of electrochemical reaction and improving the uniformity and quality of the plating layer, and at the same time, it will also promote the movement and dispersion of the brightener to improve its dispersion and coverage on the metal surface. On the other hand, too many and too large bubbles may also destroy the dispersion state of the brightener, leading to its waste and consumption rate increase, and at the same time, it will also reduce the brightness and quality of the plating layer, and increase the difficulty of wastewater treatment and discharge.
Third, how to choose the appropriate brightening agent
Choosing the right brightening agent can effectively reduce the generation and consumption of air bubbles and improve the stability and efficiency of plating solution. According to different plating materials and process conditions, we can choose the appropriate type and concentration of brightener, control its dispersion and viscosity in the plating solution, adjust the potential and pH, etc., so as to achieve more stable and efficient plating effect.
[Conclusion
The plating line opening and beating will have a certain impact on the consumption of brightener, but the degree of impact depends on the type of brightener used and the conditions of use. Choosing the right brightener can effectively reduce the generation and consumption of air bubbles, improve plating efficiency and quality, and reduce the difficulty of waste water treatment and discharge.
