Brand tag physical properties of post-electroplating oil spraying-A

2025-04-22

Brand tag (brand signage) after plating the physical properties of the spray oil will be plated and spray oil material and its process of the joint influence, specific performance is as follows: Brand tag hardness Plating layer influence plating layer (such as nickel, chromium, gold, and so on) itself has a certain hardness, can improve the wear resistance of the signage. For example, the hardness of hard chrome plating layer can reach 800-1200 HV, which can effectively resist scratches and abrasion. Oil spraying influence The hardness of oil spraying layer (such as UV paint, polyurethane,and so on) is usually lower than that of plating layer, but it can be enhanced by adding hardener or choosing high hardness coating. The hardness of the sprayed layer is generally between 2H-4H (pencil hardness). Brand tag combined performance The overall hardness of plated and then oiled signage depends on the synergistic effect of the plating and oiled layers. The plating layer provides the base hardness, while the oil spray layer provides protection and decoration. Adhesion Combination of plating layer and spray oil The surface roughness and chemical properties of the plating layer will affect the adhesion of the spray oil. Usually, appropriate surface treatment (polishing, activation) is required after plating to improve the adhesion of spray oil. Brand tag test standard According to 100-gauge test or the grid method,we can evaluate Adhesion , and high quality plating and spraying signage should reach grade 4B-5B. Corrosion resistance The role of plating layer plating layer (such as nickel, chromium) itself has good corrosion resistance, can prevent the base material (such as copper, zinc alloy) is oxidized or corrosion. The role of the oil-sprayed layer oil-sprayed layer can further isolate moisture and corrosive media, but need to choose the excellent chemical resistance of the paint (such as…

Plating Classroom: Basic Characteristics of Roll Plating-B

So, why is it important to keep the small parts tumbling in the drum? (1) To ensure that each part can be evenly plated. Small parts in the drum is stacked together, which part of the parts are distributed in the stack of the body of the interior, known as the inner layer of parts; the other part of the parts are distributed in the stack of the body of the outer surface, known as the surface layer of parts (as shown in Figure 1). When tumbling plating, the main metal ions actually only in the surface parts of the surface layer of the reduction of the formation of metal plating, and the inner layer of parts due to the shielding of the surface layer of parts, blocking and other effects of the only current through, but almost no electrochemical reaction occurs. Therefore, in order to have a chance to be plated, it is necessary for the inner parts to be turned out from the inside of the stack to become the surface parts. The surface layer parts cannot stay for a long time, and after plating for a while, they are turned into the inner layer parts by the rotation of the drum. In this way, the small parts can only be rolled over continuously to promote the inner parts and surface parts to change and transform, and ultimately ensure that each part has the opportunity to be plated uniformly. (2) Avoid “blackening” or “scorching” of surface parts. If small parts are not tumbled inside the drum and are in a stationary state, the use of a small current density may result in a lack of metal ions in the vicinity of the surface parts and produce the phenomenon of “scorching”. Especially close to the drum wall plate of…

Thickness requirements for spraying racks of band tag

2021-06-15

“Brand Tag” is not a well known standardized brand and the thickness requirements for spray frames (or spray related equipment/materials) may vary depending on the specific product model, application area and technical specifications. The following are general notes and recommendations: First.factors affecting the thickness of spray frames -Thickness requirements for spraying racks of band tag Type of material of brand tag The substrate material of the spray frame (metal, plastic) and its surface treatment ( plating, coating) have a direct influence on the thickness. For example, the thickness of galvanized or anodized coatings usually ranges from a few microns to several tens of microns. Brand tag functional requirements Corrosion resistance: Engineers design thicker coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and improve the durability of metal components Conductivity: Excessively thick coatings may reduce the efficiency of electrical conductivity and the thickness needs to be optimized. Mechanical strength: Highly loaded parts may require thicker support structures. Brand tag industry standards Different industries (such as automotive, electronics, construction) have specific requirements for the thickness of spray gun holders. For example, the automotive industry may require a coating thickness between 15-25μm to ensure corrosion resistance and adhesion. Second.how to determine the specific thickness of brand tag Consult the technical manual of brand tag Contact the official Brand Tag or authorized distributor to obtain the product technical specifications (Datasheet), should indicate the thickness parameters . Consult technical support If the manual does not provide detailed information, you can contact the brand’s technical support team directly, providing specific application scenarios ( material of the workpiece, use of the environment), in order to obtain customized advice. Refer to industry standards of brand tag If the brand does not specify, you can refer to the following standards: ISO 1461 (galvanized metal thickness) ASTM B117 (salt spray test standard, indirectly…
