Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Defence Electroless Lead Plating

When installing or setting up Defence Electroless Lead Plating, some common challenges that may be encountered are:

  1. Adherence and Coverage: Ensuring proper adherence of the plating to the substrate and achieving full coverage without any voids or areas of uneven plating can be a challenge.

  2. Contamination Control: Maintaining a clean and controlled environment to prevent contamination of the plating solution, which can affect the quality of the plating.

  3. Bath Parameters: Monitoring and controlling the bath parameters such as temperature, pH, and concentration of chemicals to ensure consistent and high-quality plating.

  4. Stripping and Rework: In case of defects or inconsistencies in the plating, stripping off the existing plating and reapplying it may be required, which can be a time-consuming process.

  5. Health and Safety: Handling and disposing of chemicals used in the plating process in a safe and environmentally friendly manner is crucial to ensure the safety of the operators and compliance with regulations.

  6. Quality Control: Implementing quality control measures such as testing for thickness, adhesion, and other properties of the plating to ensure it meets the required specifications and standards.

By addressing these challenges with proper training, expertise, and equipment, the installation and setup of Defence Electroless Lead Plating can be successfully achieved.
