摘要
In electroplating lines,many conductor rolls are installed in electroplating bath.Typical electroplatings are tin plating(ETL) and zinc plating(EGL),and from required product qualities,a vertical cell for the former and a horizontal cell for the latter is often used.Generally,chrome plating or WC cermet thermal spray coating is applied to stainless steel conductor roll in ETL for prolonging service life by improvement of wear resistance and corrosion resistance.On the other hand,Hastelloy type alloy substrate is used for conductor rolls in EGL due to severe corrosion environment of electro plating solution.Thermal spray coating is effective for reducing wear,but there are many cases where the coating cannot complete expected service life when corrosion becomes an issue.In this study,thermal spray coating for ETL conductor roll and development of the coating for EGL conductor roll to meet expected service life are described.
