Electroplating
Workpiece (cathode) is
plated with other metal
(anode) through a
water-based
electrolytic solution
A SLOW Process!!!
75 micrometers/hour
Solution must be
replenished
Sacrificial anode
Additional salts of
metal
Electroless Plating
Chemical Reaction
More Expensive $$
Uniform Thickness
Electroforming
Metal-fabrication
Metal electrodeposited
on a mandrel
Conversion Coatings
Anodizing
The workpiece is
the anode in an
electrolytic cell
Coloring
Alters color of
metals, alloys, and
ceramics
Conversion of
surfaces into
chemical
compounds:
oxides, chromates,
and phosphates
Hot Dipping
Workpiece is dipped
into molten metal
Zinc- galvanized-steel
sheet
Tin- food containers
Hot-dipped Galvanizing
line
Texturing Techniques
Etching
Electric Arcs
Lasers
Atomic oxygen
Paint Classification
Enamels
Lacquers
Water-based paints
Cleaning of Surfaces
3 types
Mechanical Cleaning
Electrolytic Cleaning
Physically disturb
contaminants
Abrasive bubbles aid
in contaminant
removal
Chemical Cleaning
Solution
Saponification
Emulsification
Dispersion
Aggregation
