Problems solved by technology

[0006] The main problems of the traditional carbon fiber electroplating process are the low plating rate and low production efficiency
This is because the specific resistance of carbon fiber is much greater than that of ordinary metals (the specific resistance of carbon fiber is usually 10 -3 -10 -4 Ω·cm, and the specific resistance of most metals is 10 -6 Ω·cm), so the conductivity is poor and the current density is small, resulting in slow plating speed
However, once the current density is increased, the carbon fiber tow will heat up significantly, resulting in the formation of a metal film bridging each other on the surface of the carbon fiber tow, which will make it difficult to electroplate the internal fibers of the carbon fiber tow, and it is difficult to obtain the surface and internal thickness of the carbon fiber tow uniform metal film
Therefore, in order to obtain a metal film with a uniform thickness, a relatively small current density is used, and low production efficiency is the main problem at present.
