Flexible electroplated metal film
Flexible electroplated metal filmFlexible Coating Metal Film (FCF) is a special electroplating method that uses flexible processes throughout the entire manufacturing process. It is made using flexible materials. This process is very unique, which is achieved by depositing a special coating on the metal surface. At present, this process has been successfully applied in medical, industrial, consumer and other fields.
In daily life, flexible electroplated metal films are more commonly used in mobile phones, computer keyboards, and other areas. In order to protect fragile mobile phone screens, there are already many flexible electroplated metal film products on the market. These products are mainly made of soft plastic or foam materials, and some also use glass or metal. These materials not only provide a certain degree of hardness and strength, but also reduce weight and are easier to carry.
So what exactly is flexible electroplated metal film? What is the difference between it and traditional electroplating?
Flexible electroplated metal film (FCF) is a new processing technology that achieves this by depositing a special coating on the metal surface. This process can be combined with different materials and thicknesses to obtain materials with special properties and appearance. Compared with traditional electroplating, flexible electroplating metal films have significant advantages in surface hardness, bending resistance, corrosion resistance, and thickness uniformity.

At present,
Flexible electroplated metal filmTechnology has a wide range of applications in fields such as mobile phone screens and computer keyboards. However, there are still many shortcomings in the flexible electroplating metal film technology, which limits its application to a certain extent. In addition, because the plating solution currently used in the electroplating process generally contains toxic heavy metals and other substances, once used, it can pose a health hazard to the human body. In addition, because the flexible electroplating metal film is made of materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), this process will cause certain pollution to the environment.
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the growing demand for health and safety, many manufacturers have also begun to pay attention to environmental protection and safe production. So in order to meet people's needs for environmental protection and safety in product manufacturing, some new technologies have been developed. For example, flexible electroplated metal film is one of them.
During the manufacturing process,
Flexible electroplated metal filmIt is a complex process involving numerous different technologies, which will have a significant impact on the surface quality and performance of the product. Flexible electroplated metal film consists of one layer of electroplated metal film (mainly aluminum or copper), one or two layers of nickel plating, and one or two layers of titanium plating. In addition, it must be covered on substrates such as plastic, glass, and fabric.
Flexible electroplated metal filmThe process mainly includes the following steps:
(1) Pre plating treatment; (2) Prepare electroplating solution; (3) Electroplating on metal surfaces; (4) Transfer the coating onto the substrate; (5) Heat treatment.
During the manufacturing process, many related technologies can have an impact on the quality of the product, such as surface hardness, bending resistance, corrosion resistance, thickness uniformity, etc. Below is a brief introduction to the main processing techniques.
The traditional electroplating method mainly consists of the following steps:
1. Prepare parts: Clean the metal sheets that need to be electroplated and prepare the necessary electroplating equipment.
2. Pre copper plating: Place the pre prepared copper sheet into a copper plating solution and quickly dry it with hot air. Then immerse the copper sheet in the molten metal and dry it with hot air.
4. The post-processing process is relatively simple, just remove the residual copper on the surface. The final step is to pour the molten metal onto the workbench.
Technical indicators and advantages
1. Surface hardness: At 0-60 degrees, the surface hardness can reach 8 GPa, and after bending 1000 times, the surface hardness can reach 10 GPa;
2. Corrosion resistance: It can effectively protect electronic components from corrosion at 0-50 degrees Celsius;
3. Thickness uniformity: Within the range of 0-10 mm, the thickness uniformity can reach ± 2%;
4. Bending resistance: After 1000 bends, there will be no obvious pits or cracks on the surface;
5. UV resistance: After being protected by organic coatings, it can effectively block the absorption of UV rays.
6. UV resistance: This method can effectively prevent the impact of UV radiation on the device.
