A kind of method at aluminium and chemical nickel plating on surface of aluminum alloy
Technical field
The present invention relates to the metal material surface treatment technology, be specifically related to a kind of method at aluminium and chemical nickel plating on surface of aluminum alloy.
Background technology
Electroless plating is meant and does not need power supply and rely on the catalyzed reaction ejected electron of reductive agent in the solution to make metal ion be reduced into the process of atoms metal.Electroless plating is material surface wear resistance and corrosion proof a kind of surface reinforcing methods such as raising metal, the Ni-based alloy layer of electroless plating have good solidity to corrosion and wear resistance, hardness height, thickness evenly, bonding force will be got well than electrolytic coating and characteristics such as good surface smooth finish, now has been widely used in Aeronautics and Astronautics, electronic industry, petrochemical complex, precision instrument, machinery, weaving and automobile and other industries.
Aluminium and aluminium alloy have light weight, and specific tenacity height etc. are specific, and alumina is the important metallic substance that a class consumption is only second to iron and steel, has obtained application more and more widely in modern industry.The serious weakness of alumina is shortcomings such as matter is soft, frictional coefficient is high, wearing and tearing are big, the visitor easily pulls and be difficult to lubricate.The Ni-based alloy of electroless plating is a kind of new modified technology of aluminum alloy surface, can improve surface hardness, erosion resistance, wear resistance, welding property and the magnetic property of aluminium and aluminium alloy.Development is very fast abroad since 20th century the mid-80s, and american chemical nickel plating accounts for 25% of aluminium alloy plating, extensively adopts in neck cities such as military affairs, electronics, space flight, computer, machinery, automobiles now.
Aluminium is the more active metal of a kind of chemical property, and there is natural, the fine and close oxide film of one deck on the surface of aluminium, and the thickness of this tunic is about 50nm, does not remove it, just is difficult to obtain the coating in conjunction with good, and can forms rapidly in atmosphere after removing.The electropotential of aluminium is very negative, is easy to lose electronics, when immersing plating bath, can replacement(metathesis)reaction take place immediately with multiple metal ion, thereby make other metal and aluminum products surface form tectorium, it is very poor with high base strength, so has a strong impact on the bonding force of coating and matrix.Generally be between matrix metal and coating, produce both good with the base aluminum bonding force, simultaneously good with binding force of cladding material again middle layer, make the generation again that behind the natural oxide film of removing the aluminium surface, can prevent oxide film, and prevent that part from immersing the reaction that produces the displacement metal of loose rough surface in the plating bath, could guarantee normally carrying out and obtaining the good coating of bonding force of electroless plating like this.
Up to now, researching and developing also, the application technology method mainly is to adopt the zinc-pre-plating layer method of soaking.Abroad the pre-treatment before aluminium and the aluminum alloy chemically plating is divided into six roads usually, that is: soaks zinc → nitric acid oil removing → etch → first time and soak the chemical nickel plating of zinc → alkaline chemical nickel-plating → normally stripping → the second time.Soak the layer of zinc as thin as a wafer that obtains behind the zinc and when chemical nickel plating, almost completely dissolve, poison plating bath.Therefore soak carry out earlier behind the zinc flash chemical nickel as preplating to prolong the work-ing life of main coating bath solution.Dip galvanizing technique complex process, its main drawback are in the corrosive atmosphere of humidity, and zinc is anode with respect to nickel coating, will be subjected to lateral encroaching, finally cause nickel dam to peel off.In addition, transition zinc layer fusing point is low, has limited range of application, and soaks that one more nitric acid moves back the zinc operation between the zinc for twice, pollutes production environment.Zinc-impregnating layer also pollutes chemical nickel-plating solution.And the present commodity that adopt soak zinc liquid and contain prussiate, and hazardness is big, does not meet environmental requirement.
At the problem that double zincate process exists, Chinese scholars has been launched research to the electroless plating pre-treatment of aluminium and aluminium alloy.Yan Jun, Wang Hangfang etc. have carried out the research of aluminium and aluminium alloy direct chemical copper-plating technique, but need to add multiple organic chemistry material.The report that causes chemical nickel plating at aluminium surface replacement one deck nickel is also arranged, but this technology is carried out between 40~60 ℃.Also have the wicking layer, soak aluminium and aluminium alloy pre-treating technologies such as copper method, laser method.No matter be secondary soaking zinc method or soaking the nickel method all is to form the deposition that the very thin Ni layer of one deck brings out nickel-base alloy on aluminum alloy surface, technology is loaded down with trivial details.Patent of invention 02133822.1 is soaked nickel liquid before disclosing a kind of aluminium and Electroless Nickel Plating of Aluminum Alloy plating, this invention can be simplified aluminium and Electroless Nickel Plating of Aluminum Alloy technology, but contained component is more, also needs to form a middle transition nickel dam on aluminium and alloy matrix aluminum, does not also state operating process in the literary composition.Patent of invention 200510100994.5 has been reported the process for chemical nickel plating on surface of aluminum alloy of a kind of siliceous, copper, magnesium, though this method has been simplified technology, this invention process object is the aluminium alloy of siliceous, copper, magnesium, and also need dry after the surface passivation in the technology.
