Dalic technology allows the plating of any type of metal locally onto metal substrates (such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, chrome , etc.). Selective plating is a process without immersion (unlike bath treatments), in which an anodic tool saturated with electrolyte is electroplated on the part due to the applied current.
The advantages of selective plating
Selective plating : We only treat the area(s) that need(s) to be treated
Cold process : No deformations created by heat
Dalic process can be directly applied without dismounting the parts (ex: AOG’s plating jobs on landing gears)
Selective plating devices are transportable anywhere : easy to intervene quickly
Treatment on integrated parts
Flexibility : you can do many different metal platings with the same equipment
Restore geometry of the part without machining
Control of thicknesses : you can deposit from very few microns to hundreds of microns
The aim of selective plating
Our coatings aim to repair or bring a new function to a metal part. Here are the most common applications:
Protect against corrosion
Restore functional dimensions of the part
Ensure conductive contact
Obtain a hardness
Fill a hole, an impact
Prevent electrochemical corrosion (galvanic couple)
Anti-fretting/EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), etc
The parameters of the generator (amperage, voltage, current quantity) are modified according to each treatment. A cathode device will be used during anodizing on aluminum or titanium alloys
An anodic tool* is composed of 3 inseparable parts to work
a plating tool: the handle
an anode: mainly in graphite or stainless steel
a bonnette: Fabric that covers the anode to avoid an electric arc
