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

FABRICATION OF ELECTRODES USING PLATINUM:

Platinum is one of the most commonly used materials for implantable electrodes and there are a number of processing techniques that can be applied for dense, microfabricated arrays. In the following sections some of these techniques have been described.

ELECTRODEPOSTITION OF THICK PLATINUM STRUCTURES TO FORM IMPLANTABLE ELECTRODES:

The deposition of the platinum electrode is important in the overall performance of the electrode array. The material has to be deposited to the required thickness and provide a good bond to the substrate.

There are two techniques commonly used to deposit thick film platinum:

1.    Electrodeposition (or electroplating) and sputtering. The former is suitable for producing thick films, whereas the latter is only suitable for thin films.

 2.    In the case of implantable electrode arrays, there is a need to minimise the impedance of the electrodes, so thick films are preferred.

Platinized titanium metal anodes are most suitable for wet electro deposition of precious metals like platinum, palladium, chromium, nickel and copper etc.

Platinum coated titanium mesh are light-weight properties whilst remaining strong and rigid, it is quite often used in sporting goods such as tennis rackets, golf clubs, cricket and hockey gear, bike frames and more. You can expect high-performance qualities without weighing you down. This is particularly important if you're competing, where every second and every gram counts. Purchasing a titanium bike frame will see your climb that hill in significantly less time than a heavy alternative. Titanium is also vital in the medical industry as it is bio-compatible. It is not toxic to the body so is used in lots of surgical implants and implements. A titanium joint replacement can last up to 20 years. It is also used in the creation of crutches and wheelchairs to limit the weight of each item helping patients to recover more quickly with less stress of their joints.

What chemical is used for gold plating?

Potassium gold cyanide is the most important gold plating chemical. Almost all the gold used for contacts in the electronic industry is derived from potassium gold cyanide

Electrowinning of platinum using a modified cyclone cell was performed. It shows the effect of flow rate, which is correlated in terms of linear velocity solutions at an applied potential of 2V and PH of 3. Here the linear velocity of the ratio of the flow rate to the cross sectional area of inlet in the cyclone cell. The concentration of platinum drops exponentially high rate, due to a turbulent nature while linear like shapes appear for the laminar flow case of 0.6 ms-1, and the rate of removal of platinum from the solution increases with the flow rate.

Platinum is the most effective metal for any electrowinning process due to its current conducting property. Platinum being the most expensive material rational utilization of Platinum for the greater value ensures economical solution. Platinum covered Anodes is none but a rational utilization of platinum by plating limited quantity on to titanium to achieve the same result as using platinum metal.

The platinized anode is characterized by its three outstanding effects as an electrode material:-

1. It is stable, corrosion resistant and can be used in various media.

2. For the oxygen evolution reaction, the over potential is very high

3. For the hydrogen evolution reaction, the over potential is very low.

What is the process of electrowinning?

Electrowinning (or electroextraction) is a process of whereby metals, such as gold, silver and copper,are recovered from a solution by means of electrolyticchemical reaction. This takes place when an electric current is passed through the solution.

Why is electrowinning used?

Electrowinning is most commonly used to recover gold, silver, copper, cadmium, and zinc. Gold and silver are the most successfully recovered metalsbecause of their high electropotential. Chromium is the only metal commonly used in electroplating that is not recoverable by electrowinning.

What is the Difference between Electrowinning and Electrorefining?

Electrowinning is defined as the process in which the metals from their ores are put in the solution that is they are electrodeposited to liquefy the metals.

Whereas in electrorefining, it is defined as the process in which the impurities from the metal are removed.

Platinum coated (Platinized) Titanium Anodes are highly conductive anodes used in electroplating and other electronic applications. Platinum coated Titanium Anodes are generally immediately available in most volumes and can be fabricated in forms such as sheet, mesh, perforated plate, rod, or wire. We can also produce materials to custom specifications by request and research applications and new proprietary technologies.

Operation:-

Platinized anodes can be operated at very high current densities greater than 75A / dm²are typical. All of the current flows from the platinum coated portion of the anode surface. However, if this coating is damaged, current may also flow from the substrate material resulting in its premature failure. The primary limitation of platinized anodes is that the oxide film on the substrate can break down if excessive anode-to-electrolyte voltages are encountered. The practical limit for platinized titanium is 12 volts. Platinized niobium can be used at potentials as high as 100 volts.

Features of Platinum Plated Titanium Expanded Mesh Anode:-

Various shapes and sizes are available, including plates, Tube, rods and mesh.
