A kind of surface treatment process for electroplating iron-nickel alloy and electroplate liquid thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of surface, relate to a kind of novel electroplating iron-nickel alloy process for treating surface to substitute nickel plating technology technology and employed electroplate liquid thereof.
Background technology
Nickel plating technology is widely used in all respects of electroplating industry, be used for to metal device carry out anticorrosion, decorate and to be the surface treatment of purpose.
But because nickel resources belongs to Nonrenewable resources,, supply with wretched insufficiency, cause substantial appreciation of prices along with the continuous increase of nickel consumption.Each electroplating enterprise nickel plating cost is high.Electroplating enterprise seeks to save nickel one after another, for the novel process of nickel.From the character of coating, iron-nickel alloy should be first-selected plating.
In the 60 to 70's, China electroplates industry and once carried out on a large scale for nickel, the motion of joint nickel.Mainly be the tin ore resource of utilizing China's abundant at that time, having carried out with cyaniding low tin bronze, the high zinc-copper of cyaniding is also using on producing rapidly for the nickel technical study of bottom.The cupric cyanide tin alloy plating solution of China was once becoming maximum, the most widely used country of quantity in the world.Most popular at that time process combination is:
Gunmetal → polishing → directly chromium plating
Full bright copper tin alloy → directly chromium plating
Gunmetal → polishing → plating approaches nickel → chromium plating
High zinc-copper alloy → polishing → flash brass → chromium plating
In today of the high enterprise of nonferrous metal price,,, make great efforts to research and develop and promote for nickel, joint nickel novel process in conjunction with the new demand of environmental protection, cost and efficient according to the invaluable experience of electroplating the older generation.At present, comparative maturity has for nickel, joint nickel electroplating technology: Rhometal technology, no cyanogen tin nickel are for nickel technology, nickel-free electroplating technology.
Wherein Rhometal once obtained the industrial application of certain scale in the U.S. as far back as the seventies.China is also rather popular in the 1970s and 1980s, is mainly used in the plating processing of art metal furniture, irony torch light.Be characterized in: the coating iron-holder is between 15%-20%, and joint nickel effect is limited; Use soluble anode to make anode, solution component is wayward, and along with the plating bath increase of duration of service, iron-holder is fewer and feweri in the coating, is lower than 10%; In addition, if handle badly, coating gets rusty easily.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of with low cost, excellent property for nickel plating technology, be surface treatment process for electroplating iron-nickel alloy and employed electroplate liquid, can save the use of nickel widely, improve the content of iron, the content that overcomes iron in the electroplating technology technology in the past is low, can't improve and make the stable deficiency of coating performance.
