Abstract

Surface is very critical from quality point of view which affecting the life and the performance of products. Surface properties can be improved by number of methods, but electroplating is preferred because of its enhanced results at lower cost. In this work nickel chrome is selected for experimentation as it is widely used in industry especially in automotive sectors for plating many of the automotive components. The electroplating of nickel chrome not only improves the surface properties but also aesthetics of the component which is also a vital part of automobile requirement. Experiments are planned by Taguchi L16 orthogonal array and effect of density of solutions and time for processes at two levels on thickness variation is studied. Mathematical model were developed by regression analysis for thickness variation. Genetic Algorithm is used for optimization of process parameters. It was observed that the effect of time is more dominating for the thickness variation.
