Black Spots या Yellowing को Zinc Electroplating में कैसे Control करें?
Black Spots या Yellowing को Zinc Electroplating में कैसे Control करें? (Full Detailed Solution)
Zinc Electroplating में जब component par black spots, yellowish layer ya uneven color दिखाई देता hai, to iska मतलब process ke kisi na kisi step mein dikkat ho rahi hai. Yeh sirf visual issue nahi hota, balki product ki quality, corrosion resistance aur client satisfaction pe direct impact daal sakta hai.
🔍 Common Causes of Black Spots & Yellowing
- Surface Preparation Poor Hai: Degreasing, acid pickling ya electro-cleaning sahi nahi hone par contaminants surface par reh jaate hain.
- Zinc Bath Contaminated Hai: Iron, copper, lead contamination se plating layer uneven ya black ho sakti hai.
- Current Density Zyada ya Kam Hai: High current se burning, low current se dull finish ya yellowing ho sakta hai.
- Passivation Galat Timing Mein Ho Raha Hai: Over timing se flaking, aur short timing se spotting ho sakti hai.
- Water Rinse Proper Nahi Hai: Acid drag-over ya passivation salt residue surface pe reh jaata hai.
🛠 Step-by-Step Solution (Best Practices)
1. Surface Preparation Sudharo
- Hot soak degreasing: Use Alkaline cleaner @ 60°C for 5-7 minutes.
- Electro-cleaning: Reverse polarity @ 6-9 V for 2-3 minutes. Water rinse properly after each step.
2. Acid Dipping
- Use 10-15% HCl dip for 10-20 seconds to activate surface.
- Avoid over-pickling, otherwise hydrogen embrittlement ho sakta hai.
3. Zinc Bath Maintenance
- Filter bath weekly to remove metallic contamination.
- Maintain Zinc metal content @ 8–12 g/L and check for Iron impurity.
- Add brightener/booster properly in measured amount.
4. Current Density Optimize Karo
- Maintain 1.5–2.5 A/dm² for uniform deposition.
- Jyada thickness ke liye high current mat use karo. Burn marks aa sakte hain.
5. Rinsing Steps Perfect Rakho
- 3-stage rinse system: Cold water, overflow rinse & final DM water rinse.
- Each rinse mein water ko daily replace karo to avoid salt deposit.
6. Passivation Timing & Temperature
- Trivalent blue: 5–15 seconds @ 25–30°C
- Black: 10–30 seconds depending on product & temperature
- Don’t overdo! Warna peeling/shadow spots ayenge.
7. Drying & Handling
- Hot air drying @ 80–90°C for 10 minutes.
- Don't touch bare hands se – gloves ka use karein.
✅ Final Tips to Avoid Yellowing/Black Spots
- Daily bath analysis & top-up schedule banao.
- Drag-out loss control karo with good rinsing system.
- Passivation tanks ko weekly replace karo.
- Proper training & SOP follow karao staff ko.
