Electroplating and anodizing

2000

Hello,

I would like to know whether the apparatus or machine uses for electroplating can also be used for anodizing and vice versa.

Thank you.

Dear Bahrin,

Yes, the material handling equipment, the tanks, most rectifiers can be used for either electroplating or anodizing process. Both processes use similar equipment to move the part thru the production process the chemistry involved can be quite different.
