Abstract

The nickel electroplating process has been carried out on steel with the help of a magnetic stirrer to homogenize the coating results on the surface. This study aims to determine the effect of time and temperature with the help of a magnetic stirrer on the thickness and hardness of the coating surface. The specimens were coated with 16 ST-37 steel plates with a length of 35 mm, a width of 35 mm and a thickness of 4 mm, and nickel as a coating metal. The thickness of the layer was tested with a stereo microscope and hardness using a hard Vicker test. Sanded the test specimens and cleaned before electroplating process. Coating operation conditions with temperature variations of 40°C, 45°C, 50°C and 55°C, processing time 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes, 2 Ampere current, 4 Volt voltage, and 50 rpm magnetic stirrer speed. The results obtained showed that the highest hardness, thickness and mass were obtained at a temperature of 55°C and time of 25 minutes, namely 242 HV, 112.60 µm, and 0.95 gram. The yield and quality of the layers formed on the surface are strongly influenced by time and temperature. Time and temperature affect the thickness, layer mass, and coating hardness.
