The invention belongs to the technical field of electroplating, and particularly relates to cyanide-free electroplating solution for preparing a shallow-gold-imitated zipper, an electroplating method thereof and a composite coating.
Background
The zipper is a connecting element which is widely used and can be freely controlled to open and close, in practical application, in order to match with the overall design of products (such as clothes, bags and the like), the zipper which is one of the product elements also needs to be matched with the product design and concepts to customize special colors and textures, so that the zipper can meet more product design requirements, and in the field, metal parts of the zipper are generally colored and/or certain textures (such as matte, high reflection and the like) are realized by adopting methods such as electroplating, electroless plating, anodic oxidation and the like.
Gold gives people noble and gorgeous aesthetic feeling, is a common color in product design, and is generally designed in the field to electroplate the surface of the metal part of the zipper by using electroplating solution with gold salt so as to present gold with high texture.
The patent document with the application number of CN202310049479.7 discloses a plating solution of cyanide-free electroplated gold and a method for electroplating gold by adopting the plating solution of cyanide-free electroplated gold: the cyanide-free gold plating solution consists of 25g/L of gold salt, 150g/L of conductive salt, 50g/L of acid-base modifier, 20ppm of auxiliary agent, 10ppm of brightening agent and ultrapure water, and simultaneously, the Ni barrier layer is deposited on the surface of the brass foil substrate before electroplating, so that the gold plating layer has good durability and integrity.
As another patent document with application number CN202310016989.4, an environment-friendly cyanide-free electroplating solution and an electroplating process thereof are disclosed, and the formula comprises the following components in mass concentration: 3-10g/L of gold salt, 30-60mg/L of composite brightening agent, 2-6g/L of complexing agent, 0.3-0.9g/L of composite crystal nucleus refiner, 30-60mg/L of accelerator, 25-75mg/L of composite leveling agent, 35-70mg/L of dispersing agent, 30-60mg/L of stabilizer and 15-60mg/L of surfactant.
However, gold salt is a relatively expensive raw material, if the technology is adopted to plate gold on the zipper, the production cost is too high, and the selling of the zipper is not facilitated, so that the invention aims to form a high-quality imitated shallow gold plating layer on the surface of a metal part of the zipper under the condition that no gold salt is adopted by designing an electroplating solution system and a preparation process, so that the design of products with shallow gold requirements is met, and meanwhile, the electroplating cost is lower, and the invention has market competitiveness.

The technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
an electroless plating solution for preparing a shallow gold-imitated slide fastener, which uses copper salt and tin salt as main salts only, comprises:
copper salt of 0.15-0.3mol/L in terms of copper content and tin salt of 0.04-0.1mol/L in terms of tin content;

Further, the copper salt is one or more of copper pyrophosphate, basic copper carbonate, copper sulfate and copper chloride.

From the above, it is known that the above-mentioned mercaptoazole organic compound and PEA are used as two brightening agents with synergistic effect to actually realize the optimal K-like gold gloss of the present invention, but the inventor finds that the combination effect is superior but can cause the internal stress of the plating layer to increase, and further the brittle fracture problem of the plating layer is easy to occur, in order to solve the problem, the cyanide-free electroplating solution of the present invention further comprises modified methyl trigonelline with concentration of 5-20ppm, which cooperates with PEA and mercaptoazole organic compound to make the plating layer crystallization fine and corrosion resistant, and can maximally reduce, even eliminate the brittle problem of the plating layer.

Compared with other third auxiliary complexing agents, the ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMPA) has stronger complexing ability on copper, and can effectively control the precipitation speed of copper.
An electroplating method for preparing a shallow gold-imitated slide fastener adopts the cyanide-free electroplating solution to carry out electroplating, the pH is controlled to be 8.5-9.5, and the electroplating temperature is 25-45 ℃.
The electroplating solution system designed based on the invention further needs to control electroplating parameters, and when the pH is lower than the limit range of the invention, the complexing ability is insufficient, and the coating is reddish and rough; if the ratio is higher than the limit range of the present invention, the plating solution tends to become turbid, and precipitation occurs. If the temperature is lower than the limit range of the invention, plating is slow, the plating layer has different colors, and the low area shows red color; if it is higher than the limit of the present invention, the whole plating layer becomes red.

If the current density is lower than the limit range of the invention, the plating layer reddening or the plating leakage in the low area; if the current density is higher than the limit of the present invention, the plating layer is white and is liable to crack. If the electroplating time is too long, the plating layer is too thick and is easy to burst; if the electroplating time is too short, the plating layer is thinner, the corrosion resistance is slightly poor, and the salt spray test is failed.
Because the concentration of the main salt of barrel plating is lower than that of rack plating, the current density range is required to be controlled to be smaller than that of rack plating.
A kind of imitative shallow gold compound plating, is the base copper plating layer, acid copper plating layer and imitative shallow gold plating layer that is the foundation bed to be electroplated outwards sequentially, imitative shallow gold plating layer is electroplated by above-mentioned non-cyanide plating solution and is formed.
