‌The advantages of brush plating technology for repairing dimensional tolerances

In mechanical processing, we often encounter the problem of dimensional tolerance. The shaft is processed too thin, the hole is bored too large, these problems can be solved by brush plating. Brush plating can not only solve the problem of dimensional tolerance, but also modify the metal surface, such as increasing hardness and wear resistance, and increasing conductivity. Laser cladding can solve workpieces with large dimensional tolerance values. For those with a size not exceeding 1mm, we can solve it by brush plating, which is more cost- effective. In this video, nickel-tungsten alloy is plated, and the safe thickness of this alloy is 0.20mm. If the size exceeds 0.2mm, we assume that the thickness is 0.5mm. We can solve it by first plating 0.3mm of copper and then plating 0.2mm of nickel or nickel-tungsten alloy.

The advantages of brush plating technology for repairing dimensional tolerances mainly include portability,
easy operation, fast deposition, controllable quality, perfect process system and a wide range of applications. ‌

The advantages of brush plating technology are specifically reflected in the following aspects:

‌Portability‌: Brush plating equipment is light and flexible, and can be easily brought to the place where repair is needed,
without the need for large equipment and complicated installation process‌1.

‌Easy operation‌: After a brief training, almost anyone can operate it, without the need for special electroplating knowledge or professional skills‌1.

‌Fast deposition‌: The deposition speed of brush plating is very fast, usually 30-60 times that of tank plating, which greatly saves man-hours and energy‌1.

‌Controllable quality‌: By using high-quality electrolyte and precise mechanical equipment, the thickness of the coating can be accurately controlled to
ensure the quality of repair‌1.

‌Perfect process system‌: Brush plating technology has perfect pre-treatment processes for various metals and can handle various complex repair tasks‌1.

‌Wide range of applications‌: Brush plating technology is suitable for parts of various sizes, and is particularly effective for repairing large and heavy parts‌1.

In summary, brush plating technology has significant advantages when repairing parts with out-of-tolerance dimensions, including portability, easy operation,
rapid deposition, controllable quality, a complete process system, and a wide range of applications, making it an efficient and practical repair method.
