Description

Cyanide-free copper plating bottoming method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnesium alloy material corrosion prevention, in particular to a cyanide-free copper plating bottoming method.
Background
The magnesium alloy is known as a green metal structural material in the 21 st century, has low density, high specific strength and specific rigidity, and excellent damping property, machinability and casting property, and is increasingly widely applied to various fields of automobile manufacturing, aerospace industry, electronic communication and the like.
The magnesium-lithium alloy is the lightest metal structural material in the magnesium alloy studied so far, has various advantages of the magnesium alloy, has the characteristics of outstanding shock absorption performance, high-energy particle penetration resistance, good mechanical processing and cold forming performance and the like, can meet the requirements of modern society on light materials, and has wider application prospects in the fields of aerospace, communication, weapon equipment manufacturing and '3C' products.
The standard electrode potential of magnesium is-2.38V, and the standard electrode potential of lithium is-3.05V, so that the magnesium-lithium alloy has higher activity than other magnesium alloys, and is extremely easy to corrode in air. In the related art, the research on the magnesium-lithium alloy is focused on the performance of the material, few reports are published on the corrosion prevention research of the surface of the material, and the application research on the surface metallization electroplating process is less. Compared with the common coating protection, the surface metallization has the advantages of high hardness, good wear resistance, excellent metal texture and high temperature resistance of the plating layer, and the special plating layer can achieve the effects of radiation resistance, electromagnetic shielding and the like, so that the metallization plating on the magnesium-lithium alloy is an indispensable surface treatment technology for industrial application.
In the related art, the electroplating process of the traditional magnesium alloy is directly applied to the electroplating process of the magnesium-lithium alloy, and is the most common corrosion prevention process, mainly a pre-plating process of cyanide copper plating after zinc immersion. As in ASTM B480-88 standard established by the american society for testing and materials, a method of plating a metal plating on a magnesium alloy surface, i.e., a cyanide pre-copper plating process, is suggested. There are also Dow processes, norskhydro processes, WCM processes, and the like. At present, although the cyanide copper preplating process of the magnesium-lithium alloy can meet the requirements of industrial application, the process uses highly toxic cyanide, has great harm to human health and pollutes the environment, does not accord with the development of environmental protection, and is inevitably eliminated.
In order to avoid the problems of health hazard to human body and environmental pollution caused by cyanide, the technology of bottoming such as chemical nickel, neutral electroplated nickel and cyanide-free copper plating is developed in the related technology.
The chemical nickel priming process has the advantages that: the process avoids cyanide, has strong covering and deep plating capability of the chemical nickel bottoming layer, and is suitable for workpieces with different shapes and complicated shapes. However, the pretreatment of the process is carried out by using an organic solvent and chromic anhydride, so that the harm to human bodies and environmental protection is great, the chemical nickel plating solution is a thermodynamically unstable system, the service life of the plating solution is short, the chemical nickel plating time is long, and the subsequent high-temperature baking heat treatment is often needed to improve the binding force, so that the process is complicated, the cost is high, and the development of industrial application is not favored.
The neutral nickel plating priming process has the advantages that chemical nickel treatment is not needed, neutral nickel is directly plated after zinc dipping, and the appearance of compactness and good binding force is obtained, so that the time consumption of the process is shortened, and the production cost is reduced. However, the process also uses chromic anhydride for pickling, so that the environmental pollution is large, the plating neutral nickel priming has a running difference, a low-current area cannot be covered with a plating layer, and the process is not suitable for workpieces with complex shapes, and limits the industrialized application development of the workpieces.
The cyanide-free copper plating bottoming process has the advantages of avoiding cyanide use, along with simple flow and good plating layer coverage capability in a low-electric area. But is unsafe and does not meet the environmental protection requirement; when the method is applied to a magnesium-lithium alloy material, a plurality of problems exist, on one hand, because the potential of a magnesium-lithium alloy electrode is lower, the substitution reaction is too fast during zinc dipping, the zinc layer is rough, and on the other hand, serious copper substitution reaction is generated during cyanide-free copper electroplating, a plating layer with good binding force cannot be obtained, and especially the binding force of a thermal shock test is unqualified, so that the method cannot meet the requirement of industrial application.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for cyanide-free copper plating priming, and the plating layer prepared by the method has good binding force.
