The invention discloses a surface treatment process of a hydraulic rod and a
coating monitoring system, relates to the technical field of
electroplating, and aims to solve the problems that various complementary sensing technologies cannot be integrated, information such as thickness, uniformity and
microstructure cannot be synchronously acquired in a lossless, in-situ and real-time manner, and closed-
loop control cannot be formed based on the information in the background technology. According to the scheme, the method comprises the steps that PR electrolytic
degreasing is conducted, a workpiece serves as an
anode, an
oil film is torn through the
oxygen evolution effect, an extremely-thin oxidation film possibly existing on the surface of the workpiece is dissolved,
base metal is completely activated, and an
optimal combination basis is provided for a follow-up
coating; and washing with hot water, namely removing residual alkaline
degreasing fluid and
emulsified oil stains by using hot water with the temperature higher than 60 DEG C in a stirring and spraying manner. According to the method, multi-dimensional information such as the thickness, the uniformity and the
microstructure can be synchronously obtained in a lossless, in-situ and real-time mode in the surface treatment process, closed-
loop control is formed based on the information, and it is ensured that plating growth is always located on the optimal track.
