Abstract

Electroplating is a way to provide metal protection by using direct electric current (DC). The coating metals used in electroplating include copper, nicel, zinc, chromium, gold, silver, brass, bronze, and so on. The design of an electroplating tool using a 3 ampere transformer aims to support learning media, especially on metal surface coating materials.. The metal coating tool uses a 2 mm thick plastic tub, 10 liter volume, brass solution, 3 amper aerator and transformer, 16 volt voltage, with coating times of 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes and 90 minutes. The test results show that the longer the coating time, the shinier the appearance of the coated test object, the layer thickness and hardness increase. In the 5 coating time periods, namely: 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 75 minutes and 90 minutes the layers produced were: 122.57 HB, 133.16 HB, 143.00 HB, 164.85 HB and 211.59 . Layer thickness is: 0.639 µm, 1.05 µm, 1.361 µm, 1.66 µm and 1.994 µm. Apart from improving physical properties, it also provides aesthetic value to the surface of the coated test object.
