Plating Process Copper Powder Production Route
Introduction
Copper powder is one of the essential materials in the plating process, and its production is closely related to the plating process. In the electroplating process, the principle of electrolysis is used to utilize the metal ions contained in the plating bath to deposit them on the surface of the object to be plated. Here, copper powder has a very important role. Copper powder has stable performance and has a certain degree of impact on the the quality of the product. This article will discuss the production route of copper powder for plating process and its importance for improving product quality.
The Production Route of Copper Powder in the Plating Process
As an important material for the plating process, copper powder is produced through the process of grinding copper ore. First, copper ore is collected and then transported to the copper ore grinding equipment. Through grinding, the copper ore is crushed and made into particles with a certain size according to the needs of the plating process. Next, the copper powder is put into a refining furnace and heated to more than 1100 degrees Celsius, with other ingredients added. These ingredients will react with oxygen and completely evaporate some impurities, leaving the pure copper powder. Finally, the copper powder is collected and stored.
The Importance of Copper Powder in The Plating Process
Copper powder plays an irreplaceable role in the plating process. At the same time, during the process of copper powder production, many chemical reactions are involved and the copper powder is refined through purification and oxidation processes. This can effectively improve the quality of the copper powder. Moreover, the utilization of copper powder in the plating process increases the level of the surface effect of the products, which is conducive to the achievement of the desired effect.
For example, when some metal objects need to be plated with certain metals, they need to be processed with copper powder as a priming layer. Because the particles in the copper powder have a certain electrochemically catalytic function and have strong adhesion with other metals, this can form a good bond on the surface of the metal to be plated, and make the plating effect more uniform. In the electroplating process, adding a small amount of copper powder can also improve the plating effect and intergranular phenomenon. In addition, when supplying current to electroplating, copper powder can reduce energy loss and increase energy conversion efficiency, which affects the plating effect and the current electrification effect.
Conclusion
In summary, copper powder has an irreplaceable role in the plating process. Through the process of grinding and refining, the quality of the copper powder is improved and the utilization efficiency of the electroplating is improved. To achieve the best plating effect, attention must be paid to the production route of copper powder, the proportion of adding copper powder, and the electroplating conditions.
