Optimizing Surface Preparation: Strategies to Minimize Plating Failures and Enhance Quality Control
White Paper
Surface preparation is critical in preventing plating failures, with ineffective cleaning and activation often being the root causes. Many processors need help managing the varying conditions of incoming parts, leading to inconsistencies and costly rework. Operators can proactively ensure effective cleaning by understanding the type of aqueous cleaner used, monitoring bath conditions, and performing real-time tests like the water break and white glove tests. Familiarity with the appearance of aging tanks and maintaining updated maintenance schedules are also essential for optimizing surface preparation. By taking these steps, companies can improve consistency, reduce defects, and enhance overall quality control in their plating processes.
