Iron frame, simple dining chair

Does the iron frame of the simple dining chair need to be phosphated, electroplated or other surface treatments before painting to enhance the anti-rust performance?

Anji Beifeite Furniture Co., Ltd., as a professional large-scale furniture manufacturer integrating design, development and production, has been deeply involved in the development and production of furniture products for 7 years. The company covers an area of ​​about 60,000 square meters and is equipped with various advanced production equipment, which not only ensures strong production capacity to meet various order requirements, but also provides a solid foundation for the company to implement strict quality control. Quality, as the core of all Anji Beifeite Furniture's work, from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of finished products, every link has been carefully designed and strictly controlled.

Specifically for the iron frame of the simple dining chair, as the key structure supporting the entire chair, it not only requires beautiful appearance and easy installation, but also needs to have sufficient strength and durability to cope with daily wear and tear and environmental erosion. Although iron materials are strong, they are susceptible to factors such as moisture and oxidation, leading to rust and corrosion, which in turn affects the service life and safety of the product. Therefore, proper surface treatment before painting the iron frame is a key step to improve the product's anti-rust performance and extend its service life.

Importance of surface treatment of iron frames
Enhance anti-rust performance: Through surface treatments such as phosphating and electroplating, a dense protective film can be formed on the surface of the iron frame, effectively isolating the iron from direct contact with oxygen and moisture in the air, thereby slowing down or preventing the rusting process.
Improve coating adhesion: Phosphating treatment can increase the roughness of the iron frame surface, form a better mechanical bite between the paint layer and the substrate, improve the adhesion of the coating, and ensure that the coating is not easy to peel off.
Improve aesthetics: The surface of the iron frame after surface treatment is more uniform and smooth, which is conducive to obtaining better gloss and color uniformity after painting, and improving the overall aesthetics of the product.

Application of phosphating and electroplating
Phosphating treatment: It is a chemical conversion film treatment technology. By immersing the iron parts in a solution containing phosphates and other components, a chemical reaction occurs under certain conditions, and a layer of water-insoluble phosphate film is generated on the surface of the iron parts. This film has good anti-rust performance and adhesion, and is an ideal pretreatment process before painting.
Electroplating: Through electrolysis, a metal coating (such as zinc plating, chrome plating, etc.) is deposited on the surface of the iron parts. This coating not only provides additional anti-rust protection, but also gives the iron parts specific surface properties, such as increased hardness, wear resistance, and decorativeness. Electroplating is usually suitable for products that have higher requirements for anti-rust performance or require special surface effects.
Anji Beifeite Furniture Co., Ltd. is well aware of the importance of iron frame surface treatment in improving product quality, so it strictly follows industry standards and best practices during the production process. For the iron frame part of the simple dining chair, the company will choose the appropriate surface treatment solution based on the specific needs of the product and cost-benefit analysis.
Customized treatment plan: For different parts and use environments of the dining chair iron frame, Anji Beifeite may use different surface treatment processes. For example, for parts that are in direct contact with the human body, a more environmentally friendly and harmless electroplating process may be used to ensure the safety and health of users; while for hidden or difficult-to-reach parts, a more cost-effective phosphating treatment may be used.
Strict quality control: Regardless of the surface treatment process used, Anji Beifeite will conduct strict quality testing and control. This includes but is not limited to visual inspection, thickness measurement, corrosion resistance testing of the iron frame before and after treatment, etc., to ensure that each process meets the company's production standards and customer requirements.
Advanced testing equipment: The company also has advanced testing equipment to conduct rigorous pressure and durability tests on finished chairs. These tests not only verify the overall strength and stability of the chair, but also indirectly verify the effectiveness of the surface treatment of the iron frame, ensuring that each product can withstand the various challenges of daily use.
