Lubricity - EN muaj cov coefficient ntawm kev sib txhuam (0.1-0.15 tiv thaiv hlau thaum qhuav) thiab nws tus kheej -lubricating vim nws du, tsis yog -galling nto.

Hard Chrome Platings
Hard chrome plating yog cov txheej txheem electrochemical. Cov hlau seem yog tsim cov cathode hauv da dej ntawm chromic acid (CrO₃) thiab sulfuric acid. Ib qho hluav taws xob tam sim no dhau los ntawm kev daws teeb meem. Qhov tam sim no txo ​​qis cov chromium ions, thiab cov txheej txheem ntawm chromium yog tso rau ntawm qhov chaw. Tsis zoo li electroless npib tsib xee, qhov deposition npaum li cas tam sim no nyob ntawm qhov ntom ntom, uas ua rau cov coatings thicker ntawm sab nrauv thiab nyias tso rau hauv qhov chaw.

Qee qhov tseem ceeb ntawm hard chrome plating yog:

Kev nyuaj siab heev - Hard chrome deposits feem ntau yog 65–72 HRC li plated, thiab yuav tsum tsis muaj kev kho cua sov. Qhov hardness no ua rau muaj kev tiv thaiv zoo heev rau kev puas tsuaj, galing thiab nplaum hnav.

Tsawg coefficient ntawm kev sib txhuam - Chrome muaj cov coefficient qhuav qhuav ntawm kev sib txhuam (0.1-0.15 tiv thaiv hlau) uas ua rau nws zoo meej rau kev siv zawv zawg.

Tsis zoo corrosion kuj - Cov txheej chromium yog cathodic rau hlau thiab muaj cov kab nrib pleb (vim nyob rau hauv tensions). Cov kab nrib pleb no nthuav tawm lub hauv paus hlau nyob rau hauv lub xub ntiag ntawm electrolytes thiab tsav galvanic corrosion. Hard chrome tsis pom zoo rau kev tiv thaiv corrosion tshwj tsis yog tias muaj cov txheej npib tsib xee los yog foob.

Lub tshav kub-kho EN txheej muaj qhov hnav tsis zoo, txawm hais tias nws tus cwj pwm sib txhuam sib txawv me ntsis.

Nco ntsoov tias kev kho cua sov ntawm EN yuav tsum tau ua tom qab plating thiab ua ntej txhua yam kub rhiab heev (xws li embedded heaters lossis sensors) txuas. Yog tias koj muaj lub phaj cua sov sib dhos nrog cov khoom siv hluav taws xob nrog, kev kho cua sov yuav tsis muaj. Qee qhov xwm txheej, raws li -plated EN hardness tej zaum yuav tsis txaus rau siab - hnav siv.

Ib qho txiaj ntsig zoo ntawm electroless nickel yog nws homogeneity. Yog hais tias lub phaj cua sov muaj cov yam ntxwv nyuaj (grooves rau thermocouples, threaded mounting qhov los yog contoured nto) EN yuav npog tag nrho cov cheeb tsam sib npaug. Hard chrome yog kab ntawm qhov pom thiab yuav tso cov thinner nyob rau hauv recesses thiab thicker ntawm cov ces kaum, ua rau tsis sib xws hnav thiab muaj peev xwm corrosion ntawm nyias cheeb tsam.

Kev pab them nqi thiab Uniformity
Tsis muaj lwm yam txheej txheem plating tuaj yeem phaj nyuaj geometry nrog rau electroless npib tsib xee. Cov txheej txheem chemical deposition tswj tib lub txheej tuab ntawm txhua qhov chaw ntub dej. Qhov no yog qhov tseem ceeb heev rau cov cua sov phaj nrog:
