Vacuum Plating Instead Of Electroplating

The existing chromium plating technology has many advantages, which can provide a variety of characteristics such as high hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, effectively extending the life of metal parts. At present, chromium plating is widely used in manufacturing and parts production (such as aircraft structures, landing gear, engine mounts and air frames). Because hexavalent chromium is harmful to the life and health of the operator and the environment, it is a very urgent task for many manufacturing companies to find an alternative solution to electroplating chromium. But finding a suitable replacement technology will not be easy.

Replacing electroplating with vacuum plating is an important scheme. For example, carbon-based films have high hardness, low friction factor and wear resistance, which can fully meet or even better than the characteristics of chromium plating. This technique is not harmful to the operator and reduces landfills of electroplated sludge, which is a potential threat to both soil and groundwater.
