Introduction to Brush Plating: A Revolutionary Repair Solution for Mechanical Components

Brush Plating is a selective electroplating process designed to restore damaged or worn-out surfaces on mechanical components. Unlike traditional tank plating, which requires immersing the entire part into a plating bath, Brush Plating focuses solely on the damaged area. This makes it ideal for on-site repairs, eliminating the need to dismantle heavy mechanical components or transport it to a workshop.

The process restores corrosion pitting, scorelines, fretting, and wear and tear, bringing the component back to its original dimensions with precision. Brush Plating ensures excellent adhesion to the base material, providing durability and reliability. Industries worldwide trust this process for its ability to deliver quick, cost-effective repairs while minimizing downtime.


How Does Brush Plating Work?
Brush Plating is a simple yet highly efficient process that involves the following key elements and components:
✔Power Pack
Supplies electrical current for the plating process.
Provides both negative (-) and positive (+) terminals.

✔Graphite Anode and Stylus Handle
The anode is wrapped with an absorbent material and connected to the positive terminal.
The stylus handle allows precise control during the plating process.

✔Plating Solution and Absorbent Wrap
The plating solution contains metal ions that deposit onto the component surface.
The absorbent wrap holds the plating solution, ensuring even application.

✔Cathode (Component)
The damaged part acts as the cathode and is connected to the negative terminal. The electrical current facilitates the deposition of metal ions from the plating solution onto the component surface.

The process begins with preparing the damaged area by cleaning and masking non-target surfaces. The anode, saturated with the plating solution, is moved across the damaged area under controlled current settings. This deposits a uniform layer of metal, restoring the component to its original dimensions.


Why Choose Brush Plating?
👍 Cost-Effective: Reduces repair costs by restoring instead of replacing components.
👌 Time-Saving: On-site repairs minimize downtime and logistics expenses.
💖 Environmentally Friendly: Uses minimal chemicals and produces less waste.
✔ Precision: Targets only the damaged areas, ensuring accurate repairs.
🎉 Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of components and industries.

Brush Plating is not just a repair method—it is a solution that saves time, reduces costs, and extends the lifespan of critical mechanical components.
