100A 48V Rectifier for Metal Finishing and Plating

Specifications:

Input voltage: 3-Phase AC380V±10% 50/60Hz

Output current: DC 0～100A

Output voltage: DC 0～48V

Cooling method: Air Cooling

Application Industry: Mainly used in industries such as electrolytic gas, electrolytic hydrogen production, electrolytic copperfoil, electronic aluminum foil, rare earth smelting, PCB electronics, hardware electroplating, oxidation, water treatment, etc.

Product Description:

In a 100A 48V rectifier for metal finishing and plating, after the AC input voltage is filtered by a rectifier circuit, high-voltage DC power is obtained. The “variable frequency conversion” stage inverts this high-voltage direct current into approximately 30kHz high-frequency alternating current. This high-frequency AC is then transformed into secondary voltage via a high-frequency transformer and filtered through a high-frequency rectifier circuit to produce the required output voltage. The Electroplating Rectifier Power Supply employs a control circuit to sample output voltage and current. These sampled signals undergo closed-loop feedback to generate pulse width modulation (PWM) signals, which regulate the inverter circuit and maintain stable output voltage/current – a critical requirement for precision electroplating applications.

Product Applications:

Manufacturers widely use electroplating rectifier equipment for various surface treatment applications, including PCB electroplating, hard chrome coating, copper plating, nickel plating, zinc plating, gold plating, tin plating, and silver plating, among other metal finishing.

Role of electroplating:

Protection Against Corrosion

– Shields metal surfaces from rust and chemical damage (e.g., zinc plating on steel).

Increased Wear Resistance

– Hard coatings (e.g., chromium plating) reduce friction and extend part life.

Improved Appearance

– Adds shiny, decorative finishes (e.g., gold plating on jewelry, chrome on car parts).

Better Electrical Conductivity

– Used in electronics (e.g., copper plating on circuit boards).

Enhanced Solderability

– Improves bonding in electronic components (e.g., tin plating).

Repair of Worn Parts

– Restores dimensions and functionality (e.g., rebuilding engine components).

Special Industrial Uses

– Provides heat resistance (e.g., nickel plating in aerospace).

– Used in medical devices (e.g., biocompatible coatings).

Types of electroplating:

› Copper Plating

Purpose: Enhances adhesion for subsequent layers and corrosion resistance.

Note: Prone to oxidation (forms non-conductive copper oxide/green patina). Requires protective coatings.

› Nickel Plating

Purpose: Used as a base layer or decorative finish; improves corrosion/wear resistance. Electroless nickel offers chrome-like durability.

Note: Magnetic properties limit use in electronics (e.g., DIN/N connectors) to avoid signal interference.

› Gold Plating

Purpose: Optimizes conductive contact impedance and signal transmission.

Key: High stability but costly.

› Palladium-Nickel Plating

Purpose: Superior signal transmission and wear resistance vs. gold.

Advantage: Combines palladium’s corrosion resistance with nickel’s hardness.

› Tin-Lead Plating

Purpose: Improves solderability.

Trend: Phased out due to lead concerns; replaced by bright/matte tin alternatives.

› Silver Plating

Purpose: Best conductivity and signal performance.

Note: Conducts even when oxidized but tarnishes over time. Higher cost.

Selection Criteria

Match plating type to application needs: corrosion/wear resistance, conductivity, cost, and environmental regulations.

Elements of Electroplating:

› Cathode
The object to be plated (e.g., connector terminals or metal surfaces) where metal ions deposit into a solid coating.

› Anode

Soluble Anode: Made of the plating metal. Dissolves during electrolysis to replenish metal ions in the solution.
Insoluble Anode: Used for precious metals (e.g., white gold, iridium oxide). Does not dissolve but supplies electrons for reduction.

› Plating Solution
Contains ions of the target metal. Composition and concentration determine coating thickness, adhesion, and appearance.

› Plating Tank

Materials: Must resist corrosion and temperature fluctuations (e.g., polypropylene, titanium alloys).
Role: Stores solution and maintains stable plating conditions.

› Rectifier

Converts AC to DC power to drive electrolysis.
Adjust voltage/current to control deposition speed and coating thickness.

› Auxiliary Equipment

Filters: Remove impurities from the solution.
Heaters: Maintain solution temperature.
Stirrers: Ensure uniform mixing.
