Pretreatment

Basic information

Pretreatment is a vital process in the electroplating industry. In the manufacturing of components, oils and fats are commonly used to aid in the machining of workpieces and provide temporary protection to metal surfaces from corrosion. It is essential to remove these oils and fats before the electroplating process to prevent any residue that may cause defects in the coating. A comprehensive pretreatment is crucial for achieving a high-quality coating. Depending on the specific requirements, pretreatment procedures may consist of several steps. Schlötter offers a range of processes including boiling or hot degreasing, electrolytic degreasing suitable for various base materials like steel, copper, and brass, as well as pretreatment options for aluminum and zinc die casting.
