How to Plate Metal in a Steam Generator

Electroplating is a technology that uses an electrolytic process to deposit metal or alloy on the surface of plated parts to form a metal coating on the surface. Generally speaking, the material used as the plated metal is the anode, and the product to be plated is the cathode. The plated metal material is On the metal surface, the cationic components are reduced to a coating to protect the metal to be plated on the cathode from being interfered by other cations. The main purpose is to enhance the corrosion resistance, heat resistance and lubricity of the metal. During the electroplating process, sufficient heat needs to be used to ensure the normal progress of the coating. So what main functions can the steam generator provide for electroplating?

1. Provide a heat source with continuous high temperature
During electroplating, the electroplating solution needs to be used to interact with the metal to be plated, and the electroplating solution cannot use an intermittent heating boiler. In order to ensure the normal progress of the electroplating project, an automatic temperature control system of a steam generator needs to be used to provide a continuous high-temperature heat source. . The steam generator is equipped with a special temperature control system. During use, the temperature can be controlled directly or indirectly.

2. Enhance electroplating effect
The main purpose of electroplating is to enhance the hardness, corrosion resistance, aesthetics, heat resistance and other properties of the metal itself. The steam generator is mainly suitable for saponification tanks and phosphating tanks in electroplating plants. The heated electroplating solution undergoes continuous high temperature It adheres better to metal surfaces after heating.

3. Reduce operating costs of electroplating plants
Compared with electrically heated steam generators, the use of fuel and gas steam generators in electroplating plants can greatly reduce the production costs of electroplating plants. Not only can the temperature control system be used to control steam consumption, but also waste heat recovery technology can be used to utilize the collected excess steam. Heat is used to heat the cold water in the boiler, reducing heating time and energy consumption.
