DIESTCH TATTERSHALL PRODUCTS PTY LTD FABRICATING FOR THE SURFACE FINISHING INDUSTRY

What is Electroplating?

Electroplating is the deposition of a metal onto a conductive substrate via electrolysis. This chemical reaction is initiated with a direct electric current in an electrolyte. The cathode (article to be electroplated) is immersed negatively and the anodes are immersed positively. The cathode is placed in the solution and given a negative charge where positively charged ions e.g. Nickel is attracted to the cathode. Metallic deposition on the surface of the cathode takes place. The adhesion between the substrate and the metallic deposit is impeccable. Electroplating has many benefits which include, increased corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, aesthetic appeal and many decorative finishes. Ultimately, electroplating is a relatively inexpensive method to transform desired articles to functional or decorative environments.

Electroplating Racks

Dietsch Tattershall Products have been manufacturing for the surface finishing industry for over 40 years. We understand plating process capabilities and our rack designs maximise plating quality, while simultaneously optimising space utilisation and loading/unloading efficiencies.

For most electroplating applications, racks are constructed of copper, brass and stainless steel. They are then - depending on the application - plastisol coated in order  to protect the plating solutions from contamination and build-up. The article spacing on the rack is critical to the quality and productivity of any electroplating process. Determining factors in incorrect article spacing is in the design of the article itself. Other influencing factors may include, throwing power of the bath or current density. Articles to be plated on one side can be placed back-to-back, however, articles that are to be plated on all sides must be off-set.

For added versatility and economy in all applications involving  zinc, nickel, tin, cadmium, gold or silver,  Dietsch Tattershall Products can design multi-use frame racks with easily replaceable cross-bars that facilitate different parts. With this feature, cross-bars can be changed quickly and efficiently without replacing the fixture frame. Dietsch Tattershall Products manufacture racks that have been designed  in the past, or can design new prototypes based on your requirements and ideas.

Contact Tips

A key element in plating quality is the tip - the contact point between the part and the rack where the most wear and stress occurs. In addition to holding the part securely during the entire process, the contact tips must not only be correctly sized to carry ample current, but also correctly configured so there is no solution carry-over. Dietsch Tattershall Products have designed hundreds of thousands of custom contact tips for products, ranging from auto parts, shopping trolleys to medallions.

A contact tip designed and manufactured by Dietsch Tattershall Products, is not only durable but will eliminate the distortion of parts, reduce shading and minimise contact marks.

Plastisol Coating

Plastisol coating provides protection for metals used in corrosive or high-temperature environments, cushioning, rust protection and an aesthetic covering for unfinished metals. Effective surface preparation is critical in achieving a quality coating application. Dietsch Tattershall Products thoroughly sandblasts the surface before priming it with a bonding agent and applying the coating. We can coat - in various thicknesses - any metal product despite its size or shape.

Refurbished Plating Racks

When a rack is damaged, broken or has reached the end of its service life, it still has value! Dietsch Tattershall Products can rebuild that rack to a new like condition. The end result is a rack equal - or improved - in quality and performance to a new one, as an economical alternative.
