Anodising

Anodising is an electrochemical process employed to enhance the thickness of the naturally occurring oxide layer on a metal surface. Primarily used for materials like aluminum and titanium, anodising offers various benefits such as improved corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetics.

The process involves immersing the metal in an electrolyte solution, typically sulfuric acid, while applying a direct current. This prompts the flow of electrons from the metal to the electrolyte, and oxygen ions from the electrolyte to the metal. As a result, an oxide layer forms on the surface through a chemical reaction. By adjusting the voltage and duration of the process, the thickness of this layer can be controlled.

The anodised layer is highly durable and exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. Furthermore, it possesses low electrical conductivity, making it suitable for electrical insulation purposes. The porous structure of the anodised layer allows for dyeing and other decorative treatments, adding to its versatility.

Anodising is a cost-effective and efficient method to enhance both the performance and appearance of metals. Notably, it is an environmentally friendly process that eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals.

Electroplating

Electroplating is an electrochemical process that involves the deposition of a thin, uniform layer of metal onto an electrode by utilizing an electric current. This transformative technique is employed to alter the surface properties of metals and other materials, providing benefits such as protective coatings, enhanced corrosion resistance, improved wear resistance, increased electrical conductivity, improved solderability, and aesthetic enhancements.

The process comprises an electrolyte, which is a solution containing charged ions, an anode (the electrode that releases electrons into the electrolyte), and a cathode (the electrode that accepts electrons from the electrolyte). Typically, the anode is made of a metal like copper, zinc, or nickel, while the cathode is composed of a less reactive material like stainless steel or titanium. The electrolyte contains ions of the metal to be plated, and when an electric current is applied, the metal ions are reduced at the cathode, resulting in the formation of a thin and uniform coating on the electrode's surface.

Electroplating finds applications across diverse industries, ranging from automotive and aerospace to medical and electronics. It is also employed for creating decorative finishes on jewelry, coins, and various metal objects.

CUPRI AC 510 is specially formulated for decorative plating on metal wherein faster brightness can be achieved at shorter plating time. The bright copper deposit from CUPRI AC 510 bath provides an excellent undercoat for subsequent Nickel and Chromium plating on most metallic substrates. To insure good adhesion, steel parts should be completely covered with a cyanide copper or acid nickel strike prior to acid copper plating. Similarly, the Zinc die cast parts should be given a minimum thickness of 5.0 - 7.5 microns in cyanide copper bath before plating with bright acid copper bath.

Due to its outstanding levelling characteristics, the surface imperfections of the base metal are covered completely resulting in a brilliant final finish with less nickel thickness, thus reducing the overall plating cost. CUPRI AC 510 process is ideally suitable for plating on artificial jewellery components where it prepares excellent undercoat for subsequent Nickel and/or other 'Nickel-free' processes.

wire industry

Phosphate is a chemical compound used in wire drawing to improve lubricity and reduce friction. It is applied to the wire before it is drawn through the die, which is a process of reducing the diameter of the wire. Phosphate is applied in a liquid form, usually a solution of sodium or calcium phosphate, and is designed to form a thin coating on the wire. This coating helps to reduce the friction between the wire and the die, which allows for smoother, faster wire drawing.

The use of phosphate in wire drawing is beneficial for several reasons. It helps to reduce the amount of heat generated during the drawing process, which can lead to a more consistent and uniform wire diameter. It also helps to reduce the wear and tear on the die, which can reduce the cost of wire drawing. Additionally, phosphate can help to improve the surface finish of the wire, making it more aesthetically pleasing.
