screw par shinee long lasting plating kese kare, step by step guide by Rawat Electroplaters
Screw par Shiny & Long-Lasting Plating ka Perfect Step-by-Step Guide (by Rawat Electroplaters)
Screws (fasteners) par shiny aur long-lasting finish paane ke liye sahi pre-treatment, correct bath chemistry, controlled current density, aur finishing (passivation + sealant) zaroori hai. Is guide mein hum aapko barrel plating oriented approach denge — kyunki screws ke liye barrel plating sabse efficient, uniform aur cost-effective hoti hai. Agar aapka part critical strength grade ka hai, to hum hydrogen embrittlement relief baking bhi cover karenge. Yeh pura process quality + corrosion resistance + aesthetics par focus karta hai.
Screws ke liye Kaunsi Plating Best Hai?
1) Bright Acid Zinc (Most Popular)
Shiny appearance, achhi throwing power aur trivalent passivation ke saath corrosion resistance. Screws ke liye ye sabse practical option hota hai. Aap Blue/Clear, Yellow/Gold iridescent, Black trivalent passivations choose kar sakte hain. Sealant lagane par life aur bhi badh jati hai.
2) Zinc-Nickel (High Performance)
High salt-spray requirement ya harsh environment ke liye. Slightly darker tone, lekin corrosion resistance brilliant. Automotive/critical use cases mein common.
3) Zinc Iron / Zinc Cobalt (Special Cases)
Specific OEM specs ke liye. Agar aapko exact spec chahiye, hum certificate of conformity ke sath deliver karte hain (on request).
End-to-End Process Flow (Barrel Plating for Screws)
- Incoming Inspection & Sorting: Screw grade, coating target (e.g., 8–12 µm zinc), head style, thread condition check. Oil/grease/paint contaminants ka note. Mixed metals avoid karein.
- Pre-Degreasing: Solvent/alkaline soak cleaner. Purpose — heavy oils ko hatana. Rinse (DI/DM preferred).
- Electroclean (Cathodic/Anodic as per system): Film-free, water-break-free surface ke liye. Time & temp vendor chemistry ke hisaab se. Rinse thoroughly.
- Acid Pickling / Activation: Mild acid (HCl/H2SO4 as per spec) to remove oxides, flash rust. Over-pickling se threads dull ho sakte — control zaroori. Quick double rinse.
- Optional Strike Coat: Complex substrates/paradox surfaces par thin strike uniformity improve karta hai.
-
Main Zinc Plating (Acid Chloride — Bright):
- Process Mode: Barrel (recommended for screws).
- Temp: Ambient (25–32°C typical), agitation as per system.
- pH: Vendor chemistry window (commonly ~5.0–5.5 for acid chloride).
- Current Density: ~2–4 A/dm² equivalent (barrel load & chemistry ke hisaab se).
- Time: Target thickness ke mutabik (e.g., 8–12 µm = approx. 15–25 min typical, bath, load & CD par depend).
- Brightener/Additives: A/B system per controlled dosing; overdose se brittleness/grey tone aa sakta.
- Drag Rinses: Post-plate chemical carryover kam karne ke liye 2–3 staged rinses (DM water preferred).
-
Trivalent Passivation (Blue / Yellow / Black):
- Blue/Clear: Bright chrome-like tone; general multipurpose.
- Yellow/Gold: Iridescent protective film; classic look + extra barrier.
- Black: Premium dark look; uniformity & handling discipline required.
- Sealant / Topcoat (Highly Recommended): Friction control + corrosion life boost. Especially screws ke liye handling & assembly wear reduce hota hai.
- De-embrittlement Baking (If Required): High-strength fasteners (e.g., ≥ 1000 MPa) ke liye 190–220°C, 2–4 hours within 1–2 hours post-plate (per spec). General-purpose low/medium carbon screws often exempt, but OEM spec follow karein.
- Drying & Anti-Rust Handling: Watermarks avoid karne ke liye hot air/centrifugal dry. Gloves use karein.
-
Quality Checks:
- Thickness: XRF / magnetic gauge (target 8–12 µm typical unless otherwise specified).
- Adhesion: Bend/thread engagement, visual blister check.
- Appearance: Uniform bright finish, no burns, no grey, no black spots.
- Corrosion Performance: Salt-spray as per customer spec (passivation + sealant improve hours).
- Torque/CoF: If friction-modified topcoat used.
- Packing: Moisture barrier pouches, VCI (if needed), batch label & traceability.
Pro Tips: Shiny Finish + Long Life Guarantee Karne ke Liye
- Load Factor: Barrel overfill se tumbling aur coverage dono effect hote—optimal load maintain karein.
- Cleanliness: Water-break-free surface without residues = bright, mirror-like deposit.
- Additive Control: Brightener overdose se brittleness/greying ho sakta—lab control sheets follow karein.
- Rinse Discipline: Drag-out kam hoga to passivation uniform & dark spots avoid.
- Sealant: Topcoat = extra shine retention + better corrosion hours + assembly feel improved.
- Baking Window: High-tensile screws par timely bake = embrittlement risk control.
- DM Water: Final rinses mein DM use = water spotting aur salt marks kam.
Common Defects & Quick Fixes (Screws)
Black/Yellow Spots
Cause: Inadequate cleaning, passivation contamination, drag-in. Fix: Fresh rinses, right activation, passivation bath rejuvenation, proper dwell.
Burning / Dull Grey
Cause: High current density, poor agitation, brightener imbalance. Fix: CD reduce, air/mech agitation optimize, brightener as per analysis.
Blister/Peel
Cause: Surface oil/scale, over-pickling, poor adhesion. Fix: Pre-clean audit, fresh activation, optional strike, controlled etch.
Thread Root Under-Deposit
Cause: Throwing power issue/load compaction. Fix: Barrel speed & load optimize, chemistry set-points, time adjustment.
Finish Options & Use-Cases
- Blue/Clear Trivalent: Clean silver-blue look; appliances, general hardware.
- Yellow/Gold: Classic chromate appeal; industrial/retro appearance + added barrier.
- Black: Premium aesthetic; furniture/hardware where dark theme desired.
- Sealant/Topcoat: Outdoor exposure, coastal regions, longer shelf-life.
