Abstract

This partly ongoing research focuses on designing a stainless-steel jig holder for varied sizes of mild steel nuts for cobalt alloy plating, scaled to industry-level requirements for field testing. The chosen type of electroplating jig is rack plating. The modelling and analysis of the design were done using SolidWorks software, which included 3D design and finite element analysis. The result shows the strength of the jig holder is reliable for nut sizes ranging from M8 to M16. In conclusion, the jig holder performance has been successfully optimized based on the material and design chosen for its simulation.
