Should Long Screws Be Electroplated by Rack Plating or Barrel Plating? Will They

1. Rack Plating vs. Barrel Plating

Rack Plating
  • Best for: Long screws (e.g., over 150mm), large-diameter screws, or high-precision requirements.

  • Advantages:

    • Screws are fixed in place, ensuring more uniform coating, especially for long parts.

    • Minimizes surface damage or deformation due to collisions.

    • Suitable for thicker coatings (e.g., high-corrosion-resistance applications).

  • Disadvantages:

    • Lower production efficiency and higher cost (manual loading required).

    • Very long screws (high length-to-diameter ratio) may bend slightly due to uneven suspension forces.

Barrel Plating
  • Best for: Short screws or high-volume production, but risky for long screws.

  • Advantages:

    • Lower cost, suitable for mass production of small parts.

  • Disadvantages:

    • Long screws may collide in the barrel, leading to uneven coating, thread damage, or bending.

    • Typically produces thinner coatings with inferior corrosion resistance compared to rack plating.

Conclusion:
For long screws (especially those with a high length-to-diameter ratio), rack plating is preferred to ensure quality and minimize deformation. If the screws are short (e.g., under 50mm) and cost-sensitive, barrel plating can be considered, but deformation and coating uniformity must be strictly tested.
