What is mechanical plating?

Mechanical plating is a method that can be used to shoot the surface of the object with different metals. Unlike electroly, mechanical plating uses a physical effect to achieve the effect. The workpieces are usually placed in a drum, which was filled with a plating medium, and the drum is then upset. When the particles in the plating medium hit the objects that have been placed in the drum, a thin layer of less than 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) will be inspected. A similar mechanical galvanizing process uses the same method to create thicker layers. The displacement can protect the component by preventing harmful elements or by the action as a sacrificial metal. However, the electricaling can introduce hydrogen into certain metal components, which tends to lead to a phenomenon called hydrogen. Mechanical plating does not introduce hydrogen in this way and is usually less expensive. The main limitation of the method is the size of the workpieces that can be used, as too large or small objects can be damaged during plastering.

The whole mechanical processing process can take place within a glass covered with a certain type of protective material such as plastic or rubber. Each workpiece is usually cleaned before mechanical plating, so it often falls first with degreasing or outgoing agent. In some cases, the workpieces will be conditioned before the actual plating phase, which may result in the initial copper coating. These steps can be omitted if the starter contained in the final plating medium contains cleaning or conditioning agents.

After the workpieces have been prepared, the final plates can be added to the tumbler. This is usually a mixture of glaspos or ceramic beads, water and fine copper, zinc or tin dust. After activating the glass, glass or ceramic balls are repeatedly affected against workpieces. Each of these hits can cause part of the metal dust to be looked into the workpiece that has been hit. INThe course of about an hour may be a layer that is usually less than 0.001 inches (0.025 mm), cold on the surface of each workpiece, while mechanical galvanization can use more media and time to achieve thicker coatings.
