Abstract

The operations of a plating process including the degreaser and acid system together with the plating tank is subject to various constraints. These include chemical makeup, temperatures and operational factors. The efficient use of plating and related chemicals is crucial to cost effectiveness and environmental impact. It has traditionally proven difficult to optimize the various processes as the levels of variability have been high. Recent studies have successfully modeled the individual process but have not been extended into optimization. This paper focuses on the application of the acid, degreaser and plating models, developed to date, to predict optimal operations. The models indicate optimum concentrations temperatures etc based on the factorial models developed in previous experimentation.
