Manufacturing Cosmetics Specialist

Surface treatment and electroplating are the "cosmetic specialists" of manufacturing—iMParting corrosion resistance, wear resistance, decorative and functional surfaces to metal and plastic components.

Full Process Scope

From automotive zinc-nickel alloy plating, electronic connector electroless nickel/gold plating, aerospace aluminum hard anodizing, car body electrophoretic coating, to fastener phosphating—every step relies on precise chemical delivery.

Three Major Challenges

These processes share three major challenges: extreme corrosion from strong acids and alkalis (H2SO4, HCl, HNO3, NaOH); precise ppm-level replenishment of brighteners and additives; and complex conditions involving high temperatures, solid particles, and entrained bubbles.

Six Core Industry Pain Points in Surface Treatment

Plating bath corrosion & anode sludge, electroless plating metal salt wastage, anodizing low-temperature acid contamination, phosphating crevice corrosion, pickling extreme acid attack, and brightener empirical dosing defects — each eroding coating quality, bath chemistry, and long-cycle plant economics.

Plating Bath Triple Wear: Strong Acids, High Temp, Solid Precipitates
Nickel/chromium/zinc plating baths contain highly corrosive media (H2SO4, HCl, NiSO4, CuSO4) at 40–60°C carrying solid particles like anode sludge. Conventional centrifugal pump seals swell and deform within 3–6 months; ordinary magnetic pump metal isolation shells thin and crack. Pump failure halts bath circulation, causing uneven temperature and inconsistent coating thickness.
Electroless Plating Metal Salt Wastage
In electroless nickel/copper plating and immersion gold, metal ions are continuously consumed. Replenishment solutions are injected online as concentrates at 10–500 mL/min. Conventional pumps cavitate, causing replenishment deviations ±5%. Under-replenishment cuts plating rates by 20%–30%, while over-replenishment wastes expensive metal salts (NiSO4 ¥60–80/kg, chloroauric acid ¥400+/g).
Anodizing Low-Temp Sulfuric Acid + Sealing Agent Resistance
Hard anodizing uses 15%–20% H2SO4 solution at -5°C to 5°C (or 20°C for conventional anodizing). Sulfuric acid viscosity rises at low temperatures and aggressively corrodes ordinary metals. Sealing also requires exact organic acid agent injection. Insufficient pump corrosion resistance causes metal ion dissolution, contaminating the bath and degrading oxide film transparency and hardness.
Phosphating Crevice Corrosion in Mixed Acid
Phosphating involves multiple steps: degreasing → rinsing → surface conditioning → phosphating → passivation → sealing. Chemical agents require precise metered addition, and solutions containing H3PO4, HNO3, and Zn/Ni/Mn basic phosphates readily produce precipitates. Ordinary stainless steel pumps suffer crevice corrosion in mixed nitric-phosphoric systems, directly degrading coating weight and salt spray life.
Pickling Extreme Corrosion from Concentrated HCl/H2SO4/HNO3+HF
Metal pickling pretreatment uses aggressive chemicals: hydrochloric acid (30%–37%), sulfuric acid (98%), and HNO3+HF mixed acids for scale removal. Ordinary metal pumps suffer pitting and stress corrosion cracking in concentrated HCl, lasting only 2–4 months. Pickling pump failure stops the entire pretreatment line, bringing all downstream plating to a halt.
Brightener Empirical Dosing Defects
Brighteners (thiourea, alkyne amines, surfactants) exist at ppm concentrations with consumption rates of 50–300 mL/kAh. Conventional timed replenishment based on manual Ah estimation causes actual deviations of ±20%-30%. Under-dosing causes dull, rough coatings; over-dosing wastes expensive chemicals (¥80–200/kg) and accumulates decomposition residues, spoiling the bath.

Full Corrosion Protection: One Pump Handles the Entire Plating Line
Surface treatment chemical agents are among the most aggressive in industry. Ordinary metal pumps require replacement every 3–6 months. JONSN provides 316L/Hastelloy C-276/Titanium three-tier corrosion protection with a design life exceeding 20,000 hours—one pump accoMPanying the entire plating line through long-cycle operation.
Intelligent Brightener Replenishment: Ah-Linked Control Saves 15%–20%
Linking MPG micro-pumps with plating ammeters enables automatic replenishment based on actual Ah consumption. It eliminates empirical errors, saving 15%–20% on expensive brighteners annually and ensuring uniform coating luster across every batch.
Bubble-Free Electrophoretic Coating: Salt Spray +20%–30%
Automotive electrophoretic coating quality determines vehicle corrosion resistance. DP series low-shear design fundamentally eliminates bubble entrainment caused by progressive cavity pump agitation—coatings are free of pinholes and craters, with salt spray test life improved by 20%–30%.
Electroless Plating Precision: From Empirical Guess to Online Precision
Electroless metal salts are expensive (chloroauric acid >¥400/g). MPG + photoelectric online feedback controls replenishment deviation within ±1%, neither wasting precious metals nor causing plating rate decline from under-dosing.
Magnetic Seal Zero Leakage: Eliminates Acid/Alkali Injury & Spills
Pickling, plating, and anodizing involve concentrated acids, toxic chemicals, and flammable solvents. Full magnetic drive without dynamic seals eliminates potential risks of personal injury and environmental incidents at the design source.
Plating Bath Circulation: Large Clearance + Nitrided Gears
Anode sludge carried in plating baths causes rapid wear in conventional pumps. MRB/MRA large tooth clearance design + optional nitrided hardened gears (HV 1000+) accommodates trace solid particles without scoring tooth surfaces, delivering >20,000 hours design life.
Multi-Channel Centralized Control: One Cabinet Manages All Pretreatment Steps

Surface Treatment Technical FAQ

How does an electroplating gear pump achieve 15%–20% chemical savings during brightener replenishment?

Conventional timed replenishment causes ±20%-30% dosing deviations, wasting costly brighteners (¥80–200/kg) and degrading coating luster. A JONSN electroplating gear pump (MPG series with 40 μL/r displacement) links with plating rectifiers/ammeters to automatically calculate and inject exact brightener volumes based on real-time Ampere-Hour (Ah) consumption. Its low-shear delivery prevents organic molecule degradation, saving 15%–20% on chemicals annually while locking uniform mirror gloss.

What microfluidic features make JONSN a premier surface treatment chemical metering pump for electroless plating?

In electroless nickel and gold plating (chloroauric acid >¥400/g), cavitation in acidic concentrates causes ±5% dosing errors, reducing plating speed by 20%–30%. A JONSN surface treatment chemical metering pump (MPG series) utilizes Mazak 5-axis carved PEEK gears and nanostructural Zirconia ceramic shafts. Paired with online photoelectric sensor feedback, it tracks metal ion decay with deviation <±1%, eliminating metal ion leaching and precious metal wastage.

Why is JONSN Hastelloy plating solution pump technology superior for severe hydrochloric and mixed acid pickling?

Pickling baths use 37% concentrated HCl, 98% sulfuric acid, and HNO3+HF mixed acids that cause pitting and crack ordinary metal pumps within 2–4 months. Every JONSN Hastelloy plating solution pump (MRA series) is CNC-carved from solid Hastelloy C-276 blocks paired with PTFE/FFKM seals rated >200°C. Completely immune to chloride stress corrosion cracking, its hermetic magnetic drive eliminates acid leaks, delivering verified >20,000 hours continuous operation.

How does a JONSN anodizing acid circulation pump maintain continuous operation under -5°C to 5°C sulfuric acid baths?

Hard anodizing operates in 15%–20% sulfuric acid at -5°C to 5°C, where fluid viscosity increases significantly and attacks standard pump metals. A JONSN anodizing acid circulation pump (MRA/MRB series in 316L or Hastelloy C-276) utilizes positive displacement multi-tooth PEEK gears. Flow remains constant despite viscosity shifts, while hermetic magnetic coupling prevents sulfuric acid leaks and zero metal ions dissolve into the bath, ensuring optimal oxide film hardness and transparency.
