It is a hard, brittle, silvery white, slightly bluish white multivalent rare metal element, and is a member of platinum group metals. In foreign countries, it is widely used in industrial chemical catalysts, electronic components, dental alloys, decorations, stationery, pharmaceuticals. However, although its application is in the development of many fields and aspects in China, its annual use is still much less than platinum and gold. It is precisely because of this situation that its value has not been fully recognized by us. We must recognize the reality that with the development of energy related fields, it will continue to be developed, applied and marketed. It is ruthenium. What is the charm of ruthenium that is favored by foreigners? In view of the almost blank application of ruthenium electroplating in China, is there a huge demand for the application of ruthenium electroplating technology?

Gold and rhodium must be familiar to everyone. If gold and rhodium are compared to female stars with high prices, then ruthenium is the tofu beauty in the streets. Not because it is common, but because the price of ruthenium is only 75 yuan/gram! Far cheaper than gold and rhodium.

However, there is no excellent performance. No matter how low the price is, it is useless. Compared with gold plating and rhodium plating, ruthenium plating has similar corrosion resistance and conductivity, but ruthenium plating has higher hardness and better wear resistance than gold plating. Since the density of ruthenium is only 64% of gold, and the price is only 20% of gold, ruthenium plating is only 13% of gold plating cost under the conditions of the same plating thickness and similar performance, ruthenium plating is used in the electroplating of electric contacts, reed switches and slip rings, It provides an economical and attractive alternative to gold and rhodium. At present, on tongue reed tubes, rhodium plating has been switched on and off about 8 million times, while ruthenium plating has reached 12 million times. Ruthenium plating can also be used to replace gold plating on other gold plated components, and it has similar performance. If a thin layer of gold is plated outside, the performance will be completely consistent with gold.

Using Sn and Sn alloy welding: compared with the wetting speed of gold layer with zero crossing time within 1s, the Pt system is about 4-6s slow, the palladium is the fastest 4s, and the ruthenium is 6s.

As the advantages of ruthenium electroplating are increasingly valued in electric contacts, tongue reed switches, slip rings and other fields, the Edison electroplating research team believes that ruthenium electroplating technology has great potential in the domestic electroplating market in the future. Because of this, Edison electroplating has developed a set of perfect ruthenium electroplating technology after long-term research and development, and has been applied in related fields!

It is hoped that more and more excellent enterprises in China will participate in the technical research of metal ruthenium! The rise of China's manufacturing industry requires a large number of enterprising Chinese enterprises to strive for it! Aidisheng electroplating will surely become the preferred supplier of global functional electroplating (gold silver tin)!
