Penerapan Teknologi Elektroplating pada Industri Kecil Knalpot di Purbalingga

Abstract

Electroplating is an application of electrochemical methods. The basic equipment of an electrochemical cell are two electrodes, generally metal conductors, which are dipped in an ion conductor electrolyte (which can be either a solution or a liquid) and a current source. Aluminum has lighter properties than iron, good formability, good conductivity, good corrosion resistance and is able to reflect light and heat when polished. Aluminum is widely used in exhaust materials. Small industrial exhaust products in Purbalingga require an attractive appearance, for this reason, eletroplating technology is used for various forms of exhaust so that it is strong, looks good and increases its sale value.
