*If you want a SNINNY FINISH the part needs to be Polished first! Use a Vibration debaring machine used by bullet reloaders from cleaning brass shell casings and fill with 50/50 clay cat liter plus coarse or cracked corn-meal (local animal feed store). Vibrate for 10 hours or until parts are mirror shinny! Results PERFECT the first time!!! For best results get a automatic stirring bar and put an anode on BOTH sides of the part (jumper wire it) for EVEN plating.*

Can i plate copper on to aluminium heatsink, it's just small heatsink or i need to plating it first with zinc/nickel?

So like in a homemade hydrogen cell that's built with dental wire that gives off the Palladium atoms I think that if there's something left over you could take that solution and use it to plate something with Palladium Am I wrong do you know what I saying?

Salt AND soda? That's something new. I've tried vinegar + soda, vinegar + salt, Hydrochloric acid (toilet cleaner). So far I've got the best results with acid. But I'll try your solution as well!

Yeah. Acid is also nice. It produces more toxic fumes, though they can be managed with a good respirator. The results would be almost the same.

Can we do the same procedure with brass

@stellarstudios6640

10 күн бұрын

Most likely not as brass is an alloy of copper and tin (don’t fact check me on that) and you’d have a better chance of using a blowtorch to heat up a brass brush and brush it over the part (which is what I do)

My solution turned green 🤔

How can you tell when the electrolytes ready? Is there any benefit to acidic electrolyte?

@Simple.Crafts

Жыл бұрын

Just like when you dissolve sugar in water, at some point the water can't take any more sugar, so it becomes concentrated. same concept here. After a while, the solution gets a deep blue color, and the process slows down by itself. You could tell by the amount of bubbles that are being produced; they become less and less visible. Basicaly, when it's blue enough, it's ready.

As far as i know, Can not copper plate aluminium directly like shown in the video due to its lack of electrical conductivity. For it to work though, It has to be treated with other methodes prior to copper, zinc for example.

I got the carbon rods in decent shape but just missing the copper plate . I tried but its more like a slimy moss that comes off . Not alot online on the secrets of the plating procedure.

Not done it myself. I would definitely look into it in near future. But as far as I know: 1. your copper sulfate must be well concentrated. Like deep blue color almost. Meaning there are enough copper ions in it. 2. Your graphite rods must be dense enough and not powdery on the surface. Otherwise, it's like painting on a dusty surface. 3. Maybe try using different graphite source. Or maybe yours isn't dry enough? 4. Your power supply setting looks good and is not the issue. Keep me updated plz

@@Simple.Crafts thanks . You’re right it probably is the powder/flakes on the outside of the rod and possibly even the type of carbon and the continuity through out the rod. I plan on using carbon rods from zinc and graphite from different types of pencils crushed into powder , and making a conducive ink .. I will then carefully char in enclosed cans differnt types of woods like hard woods and soft woods ect. ,then check the resistance of samples from each can till i find plenty good charcoal to make a rod out of each type of char-wood . The char will be compressed into a pipe in my preferred size and the pipe will also be in 2 halfs held together by metal clamps . I will probably hammer down into the pipes to really compress the char. I forgot I will also need a binder for the char to stick together which i might use the conductive ink or use water glass , i used water glass previously without adding a layer of ink but will probably olay around and test differnt tyoes Of binders.. Also might heat dry or let natural dry the rod before i char it up again in the compressed pipe. I will probably test alot of different samples

Yes, you can if you make a much higher volume solution than mine (maybe 4 times bigger). Then you will need bigger anodes (copper wires) and less salt to reduce the current. But for the plating phase, I wouldn't go with 12 volts, unless your plating object is massive.

I think it could be done. If you already made the copper solution, then Just plate bunch of them at once in a large container ( tie them in series with copper wire).

Only works on galvanized parts, or nickel parts, this will not work for 90% of people because they want to plate iron, or something without a precoat of nickel.

@Simple.Crafts

Actually won't work on galvanized part. Because as you already know the galvanization will remove iron from metal surface in order to rust proof it, so copper does not stick to the part. Thats why i sanded that washer to bare metal becuase it had coating on it.

If you want a copper finish with a steel part first nickel plate then copper plate (both are acidic and simple and you don't need a thick layer of nickel). Or buy a alkaline copper just to plate a fine layer of copper on steel then a more thiker layer with an acidic copper bath. In industries they get rid of a copper (acidic and alkaline) then a nickel layer and a chrome (because of environnemental problem with the alkaline bath) : they use a double or a triple nickel and then finish with a chrome plating

Thanks so much for the upload. I've finally dipped my toe into the metal plating 3D print field. All the help I can get probably won't be enough. Thanks, again for the video and tips. Keep up the good work. Great watch. Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, whoever looks with lust has already committed adultery in their heart. If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.
