Continuous Plating Lines
This technique involves a continuous plating line typically for wires, tubes and strips. Generally, Nickel, Copper, Tin, Chrome, Zinc, Silver & Gold are the preferred as coatings.
Typical Process
Types of Continuous Plating Lines
TIN: Generally, tin is most plated metal on copper wires for superior solderability properties. Bare copper and tinned copper wires are equally conductive, but the latter provides robust protection against corrosion and oxidation. Here are some other benefits of tinned copper wires: corrosion resistance, especially in wet or saltwater environments. Extended cable life
Industries like battery manufacturing & electronics adopt these methodologies. Generally gold silver nickel is the metal used for strips as coating for various applications.
Vast market for this application is automobile sector for aesthetic & weather resistance applications. Most of the vehicles comes with nickel chrome plated on abs plastics. ABS, ultem, polycarbonic material are suitable for electroplating applications.
