Electrocoating, as an advanced coating technology, has been widely used in various fields such as automotive, home appliances, and hardware due to its excellent corrosion resistance, environmental friendliness, and high production efficiency. However, to achieve high-quality electrocoating, it is crucial to master and optimize its technical parameters. Parameters such as voltage, paint temperature, solid content of the paint, pH value, electrocoating time, as well as baking temperature and time, are all indispensable technical parameters in the electrocoating process. They are interrelated and collectively affect the quality and effectiveness of the coating.

　　Voltage is one of the core parameters in the electrocoating process, directly influencing the deposition rate and thickness of the paint film. Properly setting and controlling the voltage is key to ensuring coating quality, as too high or too low voltage can lead to uneven film, pinholes, orange peel, and other defects. The temperature of the paint affects the viscosity of the electrocoat, the efficiency of deposition, and the performance of the film, and is generally controlled between 25-35°C. Too high or too low a temperature can lead to a decrease in film quality; for example, high temperatures can cause orange peel and pinholes, while low temperatures may result in insufficient film thickness.

　　The solid content of the paint refers to the proportion of solid components in the paint, directly affecting the thickness and performance of the film. If the solid content is too high, the film thickness increases, but issues like runs and orange peel may occur; if the solid content is too low, the film thickness is insufficient, potentially leading to decreased corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is essential to adjust the solid content of the paint according to coating requirements. The pH value is an important indicator of the paint’s acidity or alkalinity, and for cathodic electrocoating, it is generally controlled between 5.5-6.5. A suitable pH value ensures the stability of the paint and the effectiveness of the coating; deviations can lead to decreased film performance and defects.

　　Electrocoating time refers to the duration for which the workpiece is coated in the electrocoating tank, directly affecting the thickness and uniformity of the film. If the electrocoating time is too long, the film thickness increases, but issues like runs and orange peel may arise; if the time is too short, the film thickness is insufficient, potentially leading to decreased corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is crucial to set the electrocoating time according to the size, shape, and coating requirements of the workpiece. Baking is the final step in the electrocoating process, aimed at curing the film and enhancing its performance. The control of baking temperature and time is crucial, with the baking temperature typically controlled between 160-180°C, and the time determined based on the film thickness and workpiece material. Too high or too low a baking temperature, as well as too short or too long a baking time, can lead to decreased film performance.

　　In summary, the technical parameters of electrocoating include voltage, paint temperature, solid content of the paint, pH value, electrocoating time, and baking temperature and time. These parameters are interrelated and collectively affect the quality and effectiveness of the coating. Therefore, in actual production, it is necessary to set and optimize these parameters according to specific circumstances to ensure high-quality electrocoating results. With continuous technological advancements and accumulated experience, it is believed that electrocoating technology will become even more refined in the future, providing superior coating services to various industries.
