Product Description
*Key Features**
- **Advantages**
1. **Uniform coating**: Consistent coverage across the entire surface, suitable for fine wires (Φ0.1-2mm) and precision parts.
2. **Attractive appearance**: Can be passivated in blue-white or color, with strong decorative properties (e.g., crafts, electronic components).
3. **Low-temperature process**: Operates at room temperature (20-40°C), energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
4. **Low hydrogen embrittlement risk**: Controllable current reduces hydrogen embrittlement fractures in iron wires.
- **Limitations**
1. **High cost**: High energy consumption and chemical usage, with a cost of approximately 1,500-2,500 RMB per ton.
2. **Weak corrosion resistance**: Thin coating (<20 μm), salt spray test 300-500 hours.
3. **Difficult wastewater treatment**: Wastewater containing heavy metals (zinc, chromium) requires complex treatment.
4. **Low production capacity**: Wire speed typically <50 m/min.
