Overview :
This is a portable method of electroplating and is used to electroplate in localised areas of a part without the use of immersion tank. Primarily used for enhancing surfaces on OEM components, repair and salvaging worn parts. Applicable across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, oil and gas and more.

Brush Plating Elements :

• Plating Tool with absorbent wrap (Anode)
• Rectifier to supply direct current
• Special Brush plating solution (Electrolyte)
• Work Piece (Cathode)

Brush Plating Process Steps  :

• Work Piece base material-specific preparatory steps to ensure Good deposit
• Rectifier to supply Direct Current to work Piece (Cathode) and plating tool (Anode)
• Dedicated electrodes are used for each operation
• The electrodes are covered with an absorbent material saturated with a solution
• Movement between work piece and plating tool.
• Plating of metal (Zn / Cu) deposit to the desired thickness

Benefits

• Can process part that is too large for immersion plating.
• Plating can be done anywhere in the workshop or customer site as the equipment is mobile
• Lower manufacturing cost as raw material and utility usage are low
• Significantly minimise Masking time as compare to traditional tank-plating
• Environmentally friendly due to less emission.
