Technical field
The present invention relates to technical field of vacuum plating, particularly a kind of filtered cathode vacuum arc replaces water power to be plated in preparation nickel chromium triangle composite deposite Apparatus and method in the copper substrate.
Background technology
In the copper substrate, be coated with anticorrosion antiwear nickel chromium triangle composite deposite method and extensive application arranged, its typical products such as plumbing element in Industrial products.The production technique of high-grade hot-water heating spare is: casting in bronze causes type, surface finish, first nickel plating, chromium plating again.The function of nickel chromium triangle coating is erosion resistance, surface abrasion resistance and the surface brightness that improves product.The quality of superficial film quality is directly determining class, price and the work-ing life of product.For a long time, the hot-water heating element surface coating process of China adopts the water power coating technology always.Develop very ripe.Corrosion-resistant, the abrasion resistance properties of product can both satisfy the demand of real life use and the technical survey standard of industry.
But electroplating technology has the fatal shortcoming that can't eliminate, and that is exactly the serious environmental pollution that a large amount of discharging of waste liquid are brought in objectionable impurities composition residual in the plated item coating and the electroplating technology link.Especially in the top layer electrodeposited chromium operation at the residual high valence chrome composition of product surface and the chromium containing electroplating raffinate of discharging, can not be in the nature environment natural degradation, it is in biological and human body inner accumulated, can cause the harm of chronicity, being the extremely strong carcinogenic substance of a kind of toxicity, also is serious corrosive medium.Hot-water heating spare electroplating technology and is still polluting human natural ecological environment seriously, presses for to improve or substitute.
Replacing the water power depositing process with the vacuum coating method that does not have " three wastes " discharging, is one of good approach that addresses the above problem.But there are the following problems for traditional conventional vacuum filming equipment and processing method: (1) imitation water power depositing process directly is coated with pure nickel film and pure chromium film successively in the copper substrate, is easy to cause because of stress between nickel rete and the chromium rete is excessive rete in conjunction with not firm even come off; (2) adopt the frozen composition target as intermediate layer, for example can adopt nickeliferous, each target of 50% of chromium to deposit intermediate layer.But this film structure just becomes the difference on the separation surface to share on two interfaces with original one, thereby has reduced the difference degree at each interface, does not but eliminate the existence at interface, has increased by one on the contrary and has become separation surface; (3) adopt the frozen composition intermediate layer, require coating equipment to have the target arc source of inter-level target, increased the complexity of equipment, three kinds of target arc sources are again to work alone respectively in the coating process, make sedimentation rate low, and the working hour is long.
