Description

A kind of aluminum or aluminum alloy process for directly electroplating on surface
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of on aluminium and aluminum alloy surface the method for Direct Electroplating nickel.Particularly, aluminium of the present invention and aluminium alloy electric nickel plating technology need not to carry out special pre-treatment to aluminum alloy materials, can directly electroplate in plating bath, obtain coating.
Background technology
Aluminium and alloy thereof are one of most widely used metals, have good conductivity, conduct heat fast, light specific gravity, specific tenacity height, be easy to characteristics such as moulding.But aluminium and alloy thereof exist again hardness low, not wear-resisting, easily take place intergranular corrosion, be difficult for shortcomings such as welding, influence its range of application and work-ing life.Aluminium and alloy thereof can be given protection-decoration and other functionalized use after electroplating, can increase the service life and the broadened application scope.
Phenomenons such as electroplating more much more difficultly than electroplating on other metal on aluminium and the alloy thereof, mainly is because easily generation peeling and decortication between coating and the matrix, and bonding force is bad.Tracing it to its cause is that the avidity of 1. aluminium and oxygen is very strong, so total surface has oxide film, and the electroconductibility of oxide film is bad, has a strong impact on combining of coating and matrix; 2. aluminium is very active, and replacement(metathesis)reaction easily takes place in plating, and the displacement layer that this reaction produces and the bonding force of matrix are very poor; 3. the coefficient of expansion of aluminium is big than metals such as nickel, copper; 4. between the aluminium base and coating hydrogen occlusion is often arranged, easily bubbling.For above-mentioned reasons, Direct Electroplating becomes very difficult on aluminium and aluminium alloy.
At present, aluminium and plating on aluminium alloy mainly adopt special pre-treating process, comprise electroplating process such as secondary soaking zinc, chemical nickel plating, anodic oxidation.Though aforesaid method is helpful really to improving binding force of cladding material, the pre-treatment process steps is loaded down with trivial details, and quality product is wayward, and production cost is higher.In these methods, anonizing is because the coating that obtains mainly carries out bonded by the mechanical snap effect, and its bonding force is subjected to certain restriction, and cost is higher simultaneously, so use few; The chemically coated nickel method pre-treatment step is loaded down with trivial details, and quality product is wayward, and cost is higher, so use also wideless; It is commonplace that the secondary soaking zinc method is used, and its electroplating technology flow process is: oil removing → washing → etch → washing → bright dipping → wash → soak zinc → wash → move back and soak zinc → washing → plating zinc → washing → second time.Still there is tangible deficiency in this technology: the one, and complex steps is unfavorable for the actual production operation; The 2nd, for composition difference, aluminium alloy that structure is different, the bonding force of the coating that obtains often differs greatly; The 3rd, which kind of aluminium alloy no matter adopts the bonding force of coating that this technology obtains and substrate all not too high, and range of application is restricted.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is at complex steps, poor, the more high shortcoming of production cost of binding force of cladding material in the existing aluminium alloy electric coating technology, a kind of method of aluminum or aluminum alloy directly electroplating on surface is provided, and this method need not special pre-treatment, and step is simple, binding force of cladding material is good, and cost is lower.
Method of the present invention comprises step specific as follows:
1) pre-treatment: comprise mechanical pretreatment and chemical rightenning;
2) electronickelling: in plating bath, adopt direct current or pulse current method, aluminium alloy is carried out Direct Electroplating; Add complexing and remove film in electroplate liquid, its concentration is controlled at 20~40g/L.
Described pre-treatment comprises mechanical pretreatment and chemical rightenning, and purpose is for the grease of removing workpiece surface and oxide film.The present invention can adopt sandblast and sand paper grinding to carry out mechanical pretreatment.Chemical polishing also can adopt other acidic chemical polishing treatment solutions to carry out polished finish except adopting following basic chemical polishing liquid described in the invention, equally also can reach polishing effect preferably.
All need wash after described each operation steps.
Chemical brightening solution of the present invention adopts following prescription:
NaOH 100~400g/L;
NaNO 3 200~550g/L;
CoSO 4 1~20g/L;
75~95℃;
1~5min。
In the electronickelling, the working parts strap tele-release is gone in the plating tank to electroplate.Plating bath is formed: main salt, conducting salt, buffer reagent, complexing remove film, and the pH value of solution value is controlled at 3.0~5.0.The present invention adopts direct current or pulse current method (P.C.), pulse-repetition 50~100Hz, work ratio 10%~30%, current density 2~8A/dm 2, 20~50 ℃ of temperature.
Plating bath is formed:
Main salt is one or both in single nickel salt, the nickelous chloride, and concentration is 60~120g/L.
Conducting salt is one or both in nickelous chloride, the sodium-chlor, and its concentration is 30~50g/L.
Buffer reagent is a boric acid, 20~30g/L.
Complexing removes a kind of or composite that film can be in Sodium Fluoride, ammonium bifluoride, Trisodium Citrate, Tripotassium Citrate, sodium tartrate, Seignette salt, disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetate, the Sunmorl N 60S.Complexing removes the film total concn and is controlled at 20~40g/L.
The contriver finds under study for action, adds complexing in the plating bath of the present invention and removes film, has both played the effect of complex ni-ion, can improve the plating bath covering power, improve the anode dissolution performance, increase the cathode current density that allows, crystal grain thinning makes coating more even, fine and close; Complexing simultaneously removes the oxide film that film can be removed aluminum alloy material surface, obviously improves the bonding force of coating and matrix, and the effective complexing dissolved aluminum ion of energy, prevents that it from producing adverse influence to electroplating process.By effective use that complexing removes film, the present invention has overcome the shortcoming of traditional aluminium and aluminium alloy electric nickel plating technology, can obtain the good coating of bonding force, has simplified pre-treatment step again greatly.Method of the present invention is that a kind of new mode has been opened up in electronickelling on the aluminum or aluminum alloy, and no longer stay in only is improvement to the relevant condition in the former technology in the past.Make that the technological process of electronickelling has obtained maximum simplification on the aluminum or aluminum alloy, prove absolutely also that by test of many times method of the present invention is effectively, feasible.
Technology of the present invention has following advantage:
1. Direct Electroplating nickel method of the present invention, without soaking complicated pre-treatment step such as zinc, anodic oxidation, electroless plating, technological operation is simple, and quality product is easy to control.Because processing step of the present invention can farthest be simplified, required energy consumption also can drop to minimum.
2. Direct Electroplating nickel method of the present invention, the complexing of adding in the plating bath removes film, can remove the oxide thin layer film that is present in aluminum alloy surface effectively, improve the bonding force of coating and matrix greatly, solved aluminium and aluminium alloy coating and basal body binding force difference and problem such as the coating peeling that causes and bubbling in electroplating process.
3. the nickel layer that adopts the present invention to make, thicknesses of layers is even, and is strong with basal body binding force, and solidity to corrosion is good.
