Elektrolitik Yöntemle Sert Krom Kaplanan Yapı Çeliğinde Kaplama Parametrelerinin Taguchi Metodu ile Optimizasyonu.

Hard chrome plating is a surface coating process to give metals wear resistance, corrosion resistance and decorative appearance. The coating process can be applied to metals with many different coating methods. These; chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), other plasma coating methods, high-speed oxy-fuel injection (HVOF) and electrolytic coating methods. Plating parameters are very important in electrolytic hard chromium plating. Current density, electrolytic bath temperature, distance between anode cathode, bath pH ratio and coating time are important parameters. In this study, hardness properties of structural steel, current density, bath temperature and anode- cathode distance values of hard chrome plating parameters were investigated by electrolytic method and optimum hardness values were determined. Signal/Noise (S/N) ratio was used in the evaluation of Taguchi L18 orthogonal sequence. The effect of control factors on the results was calculated using Variance Analysis (ANOVA). As a result, it was observed that optimization values calculated with Taguchi method and highest hardness values were reached in the same values used in the experimental study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
