Hard chrome plating is an electroplating process in which chromium is deposited from a chromic acid solution. Thickness of hard chrome plating ranges from 25 to 500µm.Various types of hard chrome include micro-cracked chromium, micro-porous chromium, porous chromium and crack free chromium. It is essential that the micro-cracked and porous coatings have a minimum thickness between 80-120µm in order to confer adequate corrosion resistance. Micro-cracked chromium has a Vickers hardness of 800-1000 kg/mm2, while crack-free chromium has Vickers hardness between 425-700 kg/mm2. The formation of micro-porous chromium is achieved by a specialized plating method involving the use of inert suspended particles. Porous chrome plating is developed by etching electrodeposited chromium. These are designed to retain lubricant, for sliding and bearing type applications.

The finishing processes are used to give the following improvements:

Improved appearance

Improved adhesion

Greater solder ability

Resistance to corrosion, chemicals, wear, extreme temperatures and tarnish

Hardness & Durability

Electrical conductivity

Removing of surface flaws and burrs

Control of surface friction

Electroplating is basically the process of plating a metal onto the other by hydrolysis mostly to prevent corrosion of metal or for decorative purposes. The process uses an electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations to develop a lean coherent metal coating on the electrode. Electroplating is often applied in the electrical oxidation of anions on a solid substrate like the formation of silver chloride on silver wire to form silver chloride electrodes.

The Anode and Cathode:-

In electroplating practice, the current is usually introduced from an external source and the anode is the positive electrode and cathode is a negative electrode. The cathode is the electrode where the electrochemical reduction reaction occurs. The anode is that where the electrochemical oxidation reaction occurs.

The electroplating process uses an anode and a cathode. In electroplating, the metal dissolved from the anode can be plated onto the cathode. The anode is provided with direct current, oxidizing and dissolving its metal atoms in the electrolyte solution. At the cathode, the dissolved metal ions are decreased and the metal is placed on the product.

There are major factors that influence the plating. These include:

The voltage level of current.

The temperature and chemical composition of the bath.

The current length of time.

The distance between the cathode and the anode.

Uses of Electroplating

Improving wear resistance.

Improving the thickness of the metal surface.

Enhancing the electrical conductivity like plating a copper layer on an electrical component.

Minimizing Friction.

Improving surface uniformity.

Platinised Titanium Anodes are exclusively used in the Electro plating coated anodes. The external surface of all platinized titanium anodes is essentially pure platinum which exhibits all the normal characteristics of the wrought metal as far as corrosion behavior is concerned. “Tiaano” Electrodes has the technology to platinum titanium substrates in the form of plate, wire, rod, tube, plate and mesh. Furthermore, we have the ability to manufacture complex fabric anodes.                                                        

The secret of the quality of a platinised anode lies in the nature of the interface between the platinum and the titanium. It is well known that normal untreated titanium presents a very inert and intractable surface when it comes to applying precious metal coatings. That this problem was overcome to an adequate extent is demonstrated by the wide acceptance of platinised titanium anodes in different industries throughout the world. Although there are still many platinum electroplated anodes produced without an adequate interlayer, they are used for less demanding application.

2) Corrosion obstruction guarantees strength with simple practicality

3) Light weight, as well as ideal current dispersion

4) High protection from erosion

5) Resistance to oxidation

 6) High electrical conductivity

Platinum is one of the valuable metals. Platinized titanium anodes are broadly utilized in Electro Plating, metal finishing, metal recuperation processes. They have effectively supplanted lead anodes in electroplating applications because of their lower utilization, layered exactness, capacity to frame exact store thicknesses on wanted mathematical shapes, unsurprising plating science and simplicity of upkeep. These anodes can be planned and framed with different calculations in light of the parts to be electroplated.

For top notch electroplating anodes, produced to client particulars and configuration, Electroplating is utilized to plating specific metals with a slender layer of an unadulterated metal, similar to copper, chromium, platinum, nickel, palladium silver, zinc, gold or any of a few composites. During the cycle, an electric flow goes through an answer known as an electrolyte. The structure of the electrolyte relies upon the ideal covering. The thing being electroplated (cathode) is submerged into the electrolyte arrangement, just like the plating anode.

 Platinized Titanium & Niobium Anode (Dimensionally Stable Anode)

Tiaano Platinised Titanium Anode for Hard Chrome Plating. Current hard chromium plating processes are basically founded on chromic corrosive and sulfuric corrosive. The idea of chrome electroplating shower can affect the life span of the anodes. Specifically, free fluoride particles; it can go after the metals of the anode and cause erosion.

Lead tin combination anodes are ordinarily utilized for hard chrome plating. Be that as it may, the slop of lead chromate is typically framed on the lower part of the plating tank. As a delicate metal, lead compound anode is effectively distort or twist. It influences the ongoing thickness and result in lopsided plating thickness and may cause hamper.

Platinized titanium anode is a decent choice in hard chrome plating. It lessens how much perilous lead ooze age, is layered dependability, bringing about a more steady, homogeneous, and reliable thickness plating process. Platinized anodes are substantially more adaptable in forming and dimensioning and can be planned by the states of the work pieces to be plated.

For Plating, Tiaano has planned a high-temperature electrolysis strategy for platinum plating. The immaculateness of the plating is at 99.99 percent. The pliability, grip and consumption opposition of the platinum plating are impressively better, while the inner burdens are kept to a base. The plating or covering thickness appropriation is significantly more uniform, due to the layered dependability of the anodes.
