Abstract

In West Sumatra, the creation of domestic industrial metal copper, steel, chromium-coated products do not coated by chrome yet, so it is less interested in the community. Electroplating chrome with a simplified method is expected to increase the added value. Electroplating of copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) to the steel plate is needed before chromium (Cr) coating. It aims to improve the adhesive of steel plate and to brighten the coating. A solution system used is copper sulfate (CuSO4), i = 6.68 A / dm 2 and t = 2 min, nickel sulfate (NiSO4), i = 3.5 A / dm 2 and t = 2 minutes and chromium acid (HCrO3), i = 5.1 A / dm 2 and t = 20 min. The energy source is a 12 volt 60 Ampere battery. The result shows that: a) the average layer thickness is; Cu 8.54 µm, Ni: 6.65 µm, and Cr: 3.23 µm. b) the adhesive of both layers are good, since there’s no cracks when bending 90 o and 180 o C) coating to some products which are made of brass with chrome anode showed a white color and shiny chrome.

Abstract

Electroplating by using direct current (DC) electrical energy can be obtained with a rectifier or battery. The using of electric chrome plating forms hard surfaces, high aesthetic value, corrosion resistant, wear resistant, and much in demand by the public. In West Sumatra, most of home industry products of metal creation (steel, copper, brass) are not plated yet with chrome, so that, they become less attractive. Adding the electric chrome plating to the metal products is then expected to increase the value of those products. It is essential to electroplating copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) first before chrome (Cr). It is to improve the adesivitas and brighten the metal. The system solution used are copper sulfate (CuSO4) i = 6.68 A/dm2 , t = 2 min; nickel sulfate (NiSO4) i = 3.5 A/dm2 , t= 2 min; and chrome acid (CrO3) i= 5.1 A/dm2 , t= 20 min. Energy source is a 12 volt battery 60 amperes. The result showed that: a) Throwing Power solution tends to decrease after the first and second plating; b) the average of layer thickness Cu: 8.54 µm, Ni: 6.65 µm, and Cr: 3.23 µm; c) good adesivitas in which there’s no cracks even in 90o and 180o bending.
