Automation of Electroplating Technique Using P.L.C.
Keywords:
PLC, DC power supply, cation, electro-depositionAbstract
Electroplating technique is widely utilized
in various industries for the purpose of coating metal
objects with a thin layer of a different metal’s. The
layer of metal deposited has some desired property,
which the metal of the object lacks. For example,
chromium plating is done on many objects such as car
parts, bath taps, kitchen gas burners, wheel rims and
many others for the fact that chromium is very
corrosion resistant, and thus prolongs the life of the
parts. It is also used in making inexpensive jewelry.
Electroplating increases life of metal and prevents
corrosion. This paper deals with the detailed process of
electroplating technique using PLC.
