The chemical nickel plating layer, as a highly performing coating, is highly favored by modern industries. However, during the chemical nickel plating process, defective coatings are inevitable. If the appropriate stripping process is not selected, it will easily increase the difficulty of rework. So, what kind of nickel stripper should we choose to solve this problem?
Let's talk about the methods for removing the chemical nickel plating layer. There are three methods: mechanical cutting, electrolytic removal, and non-electrolytic removal. What are the characteristics and applicable scenarios of these three methods? Let's make a comparison:
① If the nickel plating layer is extremely thick, the electroplating factory can use mechanical processing methods such as turning or grinding to remove the layer. This approach is more efficient and time-saving.
② The electrolytic anodizing process has a relatively fast deplating speed, but the operation is rather complicated.
③ The non-electrolytic or chemical stripping process is relatively simple to operate and is the preferred method for electroplating factories. When choosing a nickel removal agent for this purpose, factors such as stripping efficiency and environmental protection should be comprehensively considered. Why is this so?
Due to the enhanced environmental awareness, various electroplating parks across the country have imposed certain regulations on the use of nickel removal processes. For instance, in the electroplating industrial park in Dongguan, the overall requirements for the admission conditions of electroplating enterprises clearly state: In principle, the use of strong acid nickel removal processes is prohibited. If such processes are indeed necessary, a relatively centralized and well-equipped nickel removal workshop with complete pollution prevention measures must be established.
