На сегодняшний день метод гальванического цинкования является самым распространённым способом защиты метизов от коррозии. Наибольшее распространение гальваническое цинкование получило при производстве крепёжных изделий, гвоздей и стальной сетки. В большей степени это обусловлено высокой производительностью гальванических агрегатов, низкой себестоимостью процесса и достаточной степенью защиты от коррозии. Существует и ряд ограничений использования гальванического цинкования как способа защиты метизов от коррозии.
Цинкование – основной способ защиты базового металла метизов от коррозии. Как правило, защита этим способом используется для различных марок углеродистых и легированных сталей. Гальваническое цинкование в метизном производстве применяется для защиты от коррозии изделий из проволоки и различного крепежа. Цинковое покрытие значительно увеличивает срок эксплуатации изделия и снижает затраты при его техническом обслуживании и замене. Принцип защиты изделий на основе цинкового покрытия определяется разностью электрохимических потенциалов Zn и Fe. Цинковое покрытие во влажной среде выступает в качестве анода, принимая на себя все пагубные процессы окислительных реакций и защищая тем самым основной металл изделия.

Normal zinc-plated coatings are dull gray with a matte finish, although whiter, more lustrous coatings can be produced, depending on the process or agents added to the plating bath or through post-treatments. The coating is thin, ranging up to 1 mil (25 μm), restricting zinc-plated parts to very mild (indoor) exposures. The number indicates the coating thickness in microns (μm). Zinc plating is typically used for screws and other light fasteners, light switch plates, and various small parts. Materials for use in moderate or severe environments must be chromate conversion coated for additional corrosion protection.
71
The coating is pure zinc, which has a hardness about one-third to one-half that of most steels.
8. Work in pairs. Interpret the following passage sentence by
sentence.
Zinc plating is identical to electrogalvanizing in principle because both are electrodeposition processes. Zinc plating is used for coatings deposited on small parts such as fasteners, crank handles, springs and other hardware items. The zinc is supplied as an expendable electrode in a cyanide, alkaline noncyanide, or acid chloride salt solution. Cyanide baths are the most operationally efficient but can potentially create pollution and are hazardous. After alkaline or electrolytic cleaning, pickling to remove surface oxides, and rinsing, the parts are loaded into a barrel, rack, or drum and immersed in the plating solution. Various brightening agents may be added to the solution to add luster, but careful control is needed to ensure a quality product. Post-plating treatments may be used to passivate the zinc surface as well as impart various translucent colors or to extend the life of the coating.

4. Read and translate the text. Summarize it in Russian.
The nickel plating process is used extensively for decorative, engineering and electroforming purposes because the appearance and other properties of electrodeposited nickel can be varied over wide ranges by controlling the composition and the operating parameters of the plating solution. Decorative applications account for about 80% of the nickel consumed in plating; 20% is consumed for engineering and electroforming purposes. Autocatalytic (electroless) nickel plating processes are commercially important, but are outside the scope of this article. The annual worldwide consumption of nickel for electroplating, including nickel consumed as plating salts, is approximately 180 million pounds (81,700 metric tons), and accounts for 11 to 12 percent of world nickel consumption.
Decorative Plating
Modern decorative nickel plating solutions contain organic additives that modify the electrocrystallization process so that mirror-bright, highly-leveled nickel coatings are deposited directly from solution. Prior to the introduction of the "organic" baths, decorative nickel coatings were produced by polishing nickel-plated parts mechanically, a practice that continued from 1870 to about 1945. Thin layers of chromium were electrodeposited over polished nickel coatings for the first time in 1927 to prevent the "yellowing" or tarnishing of nickel in outdoor atmospheres, and that practice continues with the as-deposited bright nickel coatings now available. An effort to develop improved decorative, electroplated nickel coatings began in the late 1940's and led to the development of multilayer nickel coatings (early 1950's) and microdiscontinuous chromium coatings (mid-to-late 1960's). Modern multilayer nickel coatings in combination with microdiscontinuous chromium are capable of protecting and enhancing the appearance of most metals and alloys, plateable plastics and other materials for extended periods of time.

6. Read the text. What is its main idea?
Гальванические декоративно-защитные либо технологические покрытия на металлических изделиях представляют собой тонкий поверхностный слой другого металла, обладающего более лучшими технологическими или антикоррозионными свойствами и хорошим эстетическим видом (например, никель, хром, серебро, цинк).
При подготовке к выполнению гальванических работ мастер­любитель должен иметь мощный заземленный источник питания постоянным током с плавной регулировкой выходной мощности с максимальным током 20 А. Это может быть выпрямитель заводского производства либо простой, но мощный выпрямитель незаводского изготовления.
Одним из самых важных условий получения качественного гальванического покрытия является предварительная подготовка пескоструйка, шлифовка, обезжиривание изделия.
Шлифовку осуществляют механическим способом с помощью карцовочной щетки, шлифовочных паст и наждачных шкурок.
Обезжиривание подготавливаемых деталей производят в органических растворителях: спирте, бензине, ацетоне, бензоле, трихлорэтилене. Подготавливаемую деталь тщательно промывают в растворителях, обращая внимание на труднодоступные места к которым сложно подобраться. (From Гальваника в домашних условиях

Engineering Plating
The engineering applications of nickel plating include those where a fully-bright appearance is not required. Engineering nickel deposits are usually sulfur-free, and matte in appearance. These deposits may be specified to improve corrosion and wear resistance, to salvage or build up worn or undersized parts, to modify magnetic properties, to prepare surfaces for enameling or for organic coating, to function as diffusion barriers in electronic applications and for other purposes. Engineering applications exist in the chemical, nuclear, telecommunications, consumer electronics and computer industries.
Electroforming
Nickel electroforming is electrodeposition applied to the manufacture of nickel products of various kinds and differs from electroplating in one major respect. In electroplating, the coating is metallurgically bonded to the substrate and is an integral part of the surface. In electroforming, nickel is deposited onto a mandrel or mold non­adherently so that the nickel can be separated from the mandrel when it is removed from the plating solution. Electroforming applications include the fabrication of molds and dies, mesh and other products that are indispensable to operations in the textile, aerospace, communication, electronics, automotive, photocopying and entertainment industries.
8. Work in pairs. Interpret the following passage sentence by
sentence.
Nickel plating is a process that deposits a thin layer of nickel onto an underlying metal. Some of the benefits of nickel plating include increased resistance to corrosion or rust, improved resistance to wear, strength, and improved ductility. Nickel plating is often seen on hardware for household use such as faucets, door hinges, and toasters. Military and aerospace use nickel plating to protect parts from corrosion.
Two different methods may be used to add nickel plating: electrolytic, also called "galvanic," and purely chemical, also called "electroless." Electrolytic plating involves passing a small electric current between the positive and negative electric poles, thereby depositing nickel
79
on the object being plated. The chemical method relies wholly upon a chemical reaction to apply the layer of nickel.
Electrolytic nickel plating commonly uses the technique of first depositing a thin copper film on the material being plated, the substrate, and then plating nickel onto the copper. The reason for this approach is that copper will adhere to other metals better than nickel. Copper first, then nickel is a quicker process with a smoother and more consistent finish than plating nickel directly onto the substrate. Either way, the surface of the substrate must be chemically clean before the process begins. Rinsing or other cleaning after is usual.
The most common plating, nickel-phosphorous, produces a hard surface when small amounts of phosphorous are used. It also creates a bright surface and a speedy process with moderate levels. This type of plating provides very high corrosion resistance, and is suitable to use in highly acidic conditions like oil drilling or coal mining, when high levels are used.
