Common Troubles and Corrective Measures for Sulfate Zinc Plating

重庆立道新材料科技有限公司 2026-06-03 14:58:04 阅览13

Fault PhenomenonPossible CausesCorrective Actions
Rough, dull coating and turbid plating solution

(1) Excessively high current density

(2) Over-high pH value

(3) Insufficient buffer agent

(4) Inadequate brightener

(1) Reduce current density

(2) Lower pH value

(3) Replenish buffer agent per bath analysis

(4) Add brightener

Low deposition rate

(1) Low zinc content in bat

h(2) Low pH value

(3) Insufficient conductive salt

(4) Low current density

(1) Add more zinc anodes

(2) Raise pH value

(3) Supplement conductive salt

(4) Increase current density

Grey spots on coating, more prominent in low-current-density areas

(1) Low current density

(2) Insufficient brightener

(3) Over-high pH value

(4) Excessive metallic impurities

(1) Raise current density

(2) Top up brightener

(3) Decrease pH value

(4) Purify bath via zinc dust treatment or low-current electrolysis

Coating prone to burning; unable to raise current density

(1) Low zinc concentration

(2) Over-high pH value

(3) Insufficient conductive salt

(4) Lack of brightener

(1) Replenish zinc based on bath analysis

(2) Reduce pH value

(3) Supplement conductive salt per analysis

(4) Add brightener
