1、 How long does electroplated metal badges change color

The duration of electroplating for metal badges is closely related to their environment and physical conditions. Generally speaking, the electroplating treatment of metal badges is carried out at room temperature, soaking in potassium hydroxide for 1-2 hours, and the contact time between the anode and the copper plate is 1-2 hours

For one hour, the voltage is 10-20 volts. The durability and stability of metal badges are closely related to factors such as the thickness, purity, and coating structure of the electroplating layer.

Electroplated metal badges can preserve their luster and color for a long time. However, when the metal badge encounters some chemicals and oxides, it gradually loses its luster and discolors. These chemicals and oxides are generally

These are common corrosion factors, such as acidic substances, alkaline substances, salts, and moisture. During the reaction between this type of substance and the metal badge, the formed compound will further corrode the metal badge.

2、 How to maintain metal badges

There are some methods to extend the electroplating time of metal badges and make them less prone to discoloration.

1. Prevent collision and friction

Once a metal badge collides or rubs, the electroplating layer is easily damaged, causing the metal badge to be exposed to air and susceptible to corrosion by gases and oxides. Therefore, attention should be paid to protecting metal badges in daily life to avoid collisions and friction.

2. Pay attention to storage location

During long-term storage, metal badges should be avoided from being exposed to damp and excessively hot environments. Otherwise, the metal will corrode due to the influence of temperature and humidity. Suggest storing metal badges in a dry, ventilated, and dark place

Keep away from corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis.

3. Clean dirt in a timely manner

If there is dirt and sweat on the metal badge, it needs to be cleaned in a timely manner. It can be wiped with pure water and a soft cloth, and should not be cleaned with oily liquids or chemical cleaning agents. Once these substances enter the electroplating layer, they are easily reacted and destroyed

Electroplated coating.

4. Regularly waxing or maintaining oil

After electroplating, the metal badge can be coated with a layer of maintenance wax or oil. Regular maintenance can protect the coating and prevent discoloration. Wax like care products, plastic container type care products, or paper with care agents can be used.

5. Regularly use chemical cleaning agents

After electroplating the metal badge, it is also possible to occasionally use some special chemical cleaning agents. Special care agents can be achieved through neutral high-quality liquid XF-32. XF-32 is a chemical cleaner that is very suitable for metal badges and can

Effectively remove stains and chemicals, protecting the metal badge from discoloration.

6. Proper use of storage boxes

If you plan to store the metal badge in a storage box, you must choose a suitable storage box. Especially, it must be completely sealed, kept dry, and at a suitable temperature. Before use, it is recommended to check whether the storage box is sealed and dry

Suitable temperature and necessary cleaning and disinfection.

7. Regularly check the condition of metal badges

The metal badge for care needs to be checked regularly. If you find that the metal badge has discoloration or discoloration, immediate measures should be taken to care for and repair it. The metal badge can be cleaned and repaired with detergent or wiping spray to extend

Its service life.

3、 Conclusion

In the usual nursing process, as long as the correct methods are adopted and the metal badges are protected and maintained through the above steps, the electroplated metal badges can maintain their luster and color for a long time without changing color. Not only beautiful, but also collectible and

Commemorative value.

In short, regular cleaning, maintenance, and proper use of storage boxes, as well as avoiding the influence of dirt and chemicals, are key measures to ensure that the electroplating of metal badges does not change color.
