±120V 150A Polarity Reversing Electroplating Rectifier

» Product Description

Used extensively in manufacturing, electroplating applies micron-scale metallic coatings through controlled electrolytic reactions, improving both functional properties (e.g., abrasion resistance in engine components) and decorative finishes (e.g., jewelry gold plating).Widely used processes include copper, nickel, and hard chrome plating, with advanced systems like ​Polarity Reversing Electroplating Rectifiers enabling precise control for complex geometries. These rectifiers dynamically adjust current polarity, improving adhesion on ABS plastics and intricate automotive components.

The electroplating setup requires a cathode (substrate), anode (metallic or inert), electrolyte solution, and DC power supply. Modern ​Polarity Reversing Electroplating Rectifiers outperform traditional units by integrating bidirectional current control, achieving ±0.5% voltage stability for uniform chromium deposition. Their adaptive waveforms reduce hydrogen embrittlement in hard chrome plating while maintaining 98% energy efficiency, making them indispensable for high-volume PCB manufacturing and decorative gold/silver coatings.

In automotive applications, ​Polarity Reversing Electroplating Rectifiers optimize corrosion-resistant zinc-nickel alloy layers on engine parts, extending service life by 40%. The technology also supports aerospace fastener coatings, where periodic polarity reversal ensures micron-level thickness consistency. By minimizing material waste and process time, these systems exemplify innovation in sustainable surface treatment solutions.

» Technology Advantages

Electroplating Rectifier Features

› Energy Efficiency
Converts AC to DC with minimal energy loss, cutting costs for large-scale operations.

› Stable Output
Maintains stable voltage/current under load changes, ensuring even coating thickness.

› Customizable Waveforms
Adjusts pulse width, frequency, and duty cycle to match specific plating needs (e.g., pulse plating for microelectronics).

› Easy Controls
User-friendly controls (manual or automated) enable quick parameter adjustments for precision.

These features ensure reliable, high-quality plating with minimal waste.

» Role of electroplating

Enhance Wear Resistance, Conductivity & Reflectivity
Electroplating applies durable coatings (e.g., nickel or chromium) to surfaces, reducing wear from friction. This extends the lifespan of industrial tools and engine parts. For electronics, smoother conductive layers (like copper plating) improve current flow, minimizing energy loss. Silver and chromium coatings demonstrate exceptional light reflectivity (>95% at 550nm wavelength), making them indispensable in optical applications. For instance, silver-plated reflectors in laser resonator cavities achieve 99.2% reflectivity, while chromium-coated telescope mirrors maintain surface accuracy below λ/10 RMS. These metallic layers also provide critical corrosion protection through electrochemical mechanisms. Zinc-plated fasteners (5-15μm thickness) withstand 2,000-hour salt spray tests per ASTM B117, whereas automotive chrome plating (0.3-1.2μm) combines 500-cycle corrosion resistance with Ra<0.1μm surface finish.

Advanced plating techniques now integrate functional and aesthetic requirements. Medical device gold plating (99.99% purity) achieves both biocompatibility and visual appeal, while PVD-based black chrome coatings on consumer electronics provide scratch resistance (3H pencil hardness) with controlled L*30-35 blackness levels. Such processes leverage pulse reverse rectifiers to precisely control deposit crystallography, enabling <0.5μm thickness variation across complex geometries.

Dual Benefits
Electroplating isn’t just functional. It adds value:

Car parts gain sleek chrome finishes.

Circuit boards maintain stable conductivity.

Jewelry combines luxury with tarnish resistance.

Electroplating boosts both performance and visual appeal, making products last longer and look better.

» Types of electroplating

› Copper Plating

Purpose: Enhances adhesion for subsequent layers and corrosion resistance.

Note: Prone to oxidation (forms non-conductive copper oxide/green patina). Requires protective coatings.

› Nickel Plating

Purpose: Used as a base layer or decorative finish; improves corrosion/wear resistance. Electroless nickel offers chrome-like durability.

Note: Magnetic properties limit use in electronics (e.g., DIN/N connectors) to avoid signal interference.

› Gold Plating

Purpose: Optimizes conductive contact impedance and signal transmission.

Key: High stability but costly.

› Palladium-Nickel Plating

Purpose: Superior signal transmission and wear resistance vs. gold.

Advantage: Combines palladium’s corrosion resistance with nickel’s hardness.

› Tin-Lead Plating

Purpose: Improves solderability.

Trend: Phased out due to lead concerns; replaced by bright/matte tin alternatives.

› Silver Plating

Purpose: Best conductivity and signal performance.

Note: Conducts even when oxidized but tarnishes over time. Higher cost.

Selection Criteria

Match plating type to application needs: corrosion/wear resistance, conductivity, cost, and environmental regulations.

» Elements of Electroplating

› Cathode
The object to be plated (e.g., connector terminals or metal surfaces) where metal ions deposit into a solid coating.

› Anode

​Soluble Anode: Made of the plating metal. Dissolves during electrolysis to replenish metal ions in the solution.

​Insoluble Anode: Used for precious metals (e.g., white gold, iridium oxide). Does not dissolve but supplies electrons for reduction.

› Plating Solution
Contains ions of the target metal. Composition and concentration determine coating thickness, adhesion, and appearance.

› Plating Tank

Materials: Must resist corrosion and temperature fluctuations (e.g., polypropylene, titanium alloys).

Role: Stores solution and maintains stable plating conditions.

› Rectifier

Converts AC to DC power to drive electrolysis.

Adjust voltage/current to control deposition speed and coating thickness.

› Auxiliary Equipment

​Filters: Remove impurities from the solution.

​Heaters: Maintain solution temperature.

​Stirrers: Ensure uniform mixing.
