Electroplating Technician

Overview

The Electroplating Technician is responsible for performing metal coating processes using electrochemical techniques to enhance corrosion resistance, aesthetics, and physical properties of metal parts. Responsibilities

Metal Surface Preparation :

Clean metal parts by degreasing, removing dirt, and oxides using chemical solutions and mechanical methods. Perform surface treatments such as pickling, sandblasting, or acid activation.

Operating Electroplating Tanks :

Adjust chemical bath concentrations and operating conditions (temperature, current, time). Perform zinc plating for rust protection. Conduct tin plating for electronic and food-grade applications. Execute nickel chrome plating for decorative and wear-resistant finishes.

Quality Control & Process Adjustment :

Measure plating thickness using coating thickness gauges. Test adhesion and durability according to industry standards. Identify defects (pitting, uneven coating, discoloration) and correct them.

Maintenance & Safety Compliance :

Maintain plating equipment and clean tanks regularly. Follow safety protocols when handling hazardous chemicals. Dispose of chemical waste in compliance with environmental regulations.

Qualifications

Diploma or certification in chemical engineering, metallurgy, or a related field. Previous experience in electroplating (especially zinc, tin, and nickel chrome). Knowledge of plating chemicals (acids, cyanides, electrolytes). Ability to read technical instructions and adjust process parameters. Adherence to industrial safety standards (PPE : gloves, goggles, masks).
