BARREL PLATING
Hilite brings the most extensive plating services with the right expertise and barrel plating is one of the many, that has outreached as a cost-effective procedure to plate a high volume of smaller parts at one given time. Barrel plating has become a demanding method to undertake plating services when the finished product should meet stringent specifications and necessary industry standards, achieved on productive output levels. The speciality about barrel plating sits on the centre bars inside the barrel, that performs the mission from conducting sufficient electrical current that will eventually power the entire barrel plating process.
What is even more interesting about barrel plating is the level of flexibility and convenience the process offers, which can be implemented on copper plating, nickel plating, black oxide, pickle and passivate. Moreover, barrel electro polishing can also be performed with less effort where any items can go through this electro polishing process in bulk in a single barrel meeting all required specifications, making barrel plating even more effective.
Process of barrel plating.
The process of barrel plating involves placing the relevant items in a barrel shaped caged appliance which is manufactured inhouse using nonconductive material. The cage filled with the items is submerged into a tank that is containing the required electrolytic solution that sets the footing for the barrel plating procedure. The submerged barrel is given slow tumbling motions which commences the plating action. The most crucial point here is that the individual pieces of the barrel plating process establish a bipolar contact with each other item resulting greater plating to the end product. Moreover, it is crucial to note that, this greater amount of contacting during the barrel plating process is not recommended for items that require specific ornamental finishes.
Different types of plating barrels
Horizontal and oblique plating barrels are the most common types available with the horizontal barrel plating to be the most frequently used, due to the large area it carries giving more items to be plated. Moreover, the largest type of the horizontal barrel is called to be production barrel which has the capacity of to about 17 cubic feet. Further, Hilite offer the flexibility of bringing more portable and diminutive horizontal plating barrels giving more convenience and variety. In relation to oblique barrels, they come in open design and reduced tumbling which are more suitable for less significant assignments.
