The electroplated layer protects the surface area of parts and resists rust and various other problems from causing decay by applying electrical currents to reduce metal cations.

Electroplating

Electroplating is effectively the reverse of electropolishing. Rather than getting rid of a layer of steel to accomplish a finished surface, electroplating deposits an added external layer, raising a component’s thickness. Suitable with cadmium, chrome, copper, gold, nickel, silver, and tin, electroplating creates smooth components that experience less wear and tear over time thanks to their added protection from corrosion, tainting, shock, and warmth. Electroplating can increase adhesion between the base material and its additional outer coating, and, depending on the type of metal used, can make your part magnetic or conductive.

Electroplating

Electroplating Process

Electroplating deposits an additional outer layer, increasing a part’s thickness.

Electroplating Design Consideration

For all critical dimensions and tolerances, the plating thickness shall be taken into consideration.
Electroplating entails using current. This means the general geometry of the component will influence the present circulation across its surface area, often erratically. Nonetheless, there are some advanced plating procedures that can protect against extreme plating build-up on bends, threads and sharp edges.
Plating materials should be chosen based on the desired characteristics of the final part: corrosion resistance, strength, etc.

FAQs

1. With the same material, why does the surface of the turning parts look smoother than the milling surface?

Turning often results in a smoother surface due to the continuous single-point cutting action and more controlled tool geometry. Milling, with its multi-point cutting tools and complex tool paths, can yield a rougher surface finish, but it is highly dependent on the specific machining parameters, tool quality, and setup. Proper tool selection and optimization of cutting parameters can help improve the surface finish in milling operations.

2. What is the significance of specifying a surface finish "as machined" in CNC machining?

Specifying a surface finish “as machined” is important because it defines the quality and texture of the workpiece’s surface directly after CNC machining. This helps set expectations for the surface finish without any additional post-processing, which can be crucial for parts with strict functional or aesthetic requirements.

3. What are some factors that can affect the surface finish "as machined" in CNC machining?

Several factors can influence the surface finish as machined, including the cutting tool’s sharpness, the material being machined, the CNC machine’s accuracy and rigidity, feed rates, and cutting speeds. Operator skill and the choice of machining parameters play a crucial role in achieving the desired surface finish.
