After chromium-free roughening, a reduction treatment is required, wherein the reduction treatment is a process of reducing oxides or other compounds generated on the surface of the metal into the metal by using a certain chemical reducing agent, and in the process, the reducing agent reacts with the surface of the metal to form a layer of reduction product, and the surface is reduced to a complete metal state so as to carry out subsequent electroplating treatment. In the invention, copper salt and citric acid are used as reducing agents, and a specific reaction equation is as follows:
Cu2++2e-→Cu
through the reaction, copper ions are reduced into metal copper, and a layer of reduction products of copper are generated on the metal surface, and the process can effectively remove oxides and other impurities on the metal surface, so that the metal surface becomes more active, and the subsequent electroplating treatment is facilitated.
Wherein the reduction reaction is carried out at room temperature, the temperature is 20-25 ℃, the PH value of the citric acid is 2-4, and the reduction reaction time is 10-30 minutes.
