Free Metal Analysis Services
Complimentary metal ratio analysis services for electroplating lines — comprehensive bath analysis, contaminant identification, and corrective action reports.
Overview
At Fusion, we believe that what you can't measure, you can't control. That's why we offer complimentary metal ratio analysis services for all electroplating lines. Our specialized laboratory provides the scientific backbone your production line needs to maintain peak performance.
This service is completely free of charge — part of our commitment to building lasting partnerships with our clients.
What We Analyze
Inorganic Salt Analysis
- Metal Concentrations: Accurate titration and electrochemical analysis for Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Tin, Chrome, and other metal salts
- Acid/Base Balance: Precise measurement of free acid and total acid levels
- Buffer Components: Analysis of boric acid, ammonium salts, and other buffer chemicals
Organic Additive Monitoring
- Brightener Levels: Tracking depletion rates of primary and secondary brighteners
- Leveler Concentration: Ensuring uniform deposit distribution across complex geometries
- Carrier Monitoring: Maintaining optimal wetting and throwing power
Contaminant Identification
- Metallic Impurities: Detection of iron, lead, zinc, and other harmful metallic contaminants
- Organic Breakdown Products: Identifying decomposition products that affect deposit quality
- Chloride & Sulfate Levels: Monitoring corrosive ion concentrations
Physical Property Testing
- pH Measurement: Precise digital pH readings for all bath types
- Surface Tension: Dyne/cm measurements for optimal wetting characteristics
- Solution Density: Baumé and specific gravity readings
- Temperature Profiling: Verification of bath temperature uniformity
Lab-Grade Equipment
Our laboratory is equipped with professional-grade instrumentation:
- Glassware: High-durability borosilicate beakers, burettes, and pipettes
- Testing Kits: Portable Hull Cell units, heating mantles, and magnetic stirrers
- Digital Instruments: Precision electronic scales, digital pH probes, and conductivity meters
- Reagents: Ultra-pure analytical grade (AR) acids, bases, and indicator solutions
Technical Audit Reports
Every analysis results in a comprehensive Technical Audit Report:
- Current Values: Exact chemical composition at the time of sampling
- Optimal Range: Recommended concentration ranges for each component
- Correction Formulas: Precise calculations for additions needed to return the bath to optimal set-point
- Trend Analysis: Tracking bath health over time to predict maintenance needs
- Recommendations: Actionable steps for carbon treatment, bath dummying, or component replacement
