Definitions

  • This invention relates to improved processes and compositions for the electrodeposition of nickel and alloys thereof.
  • this invention relates to an improved process and composition for the preparation of nickel or nickel alloy electrodeposits which comprises passing current from an anode to a cathode through an aqueous acidic electroplating solution containing:
  • concentrations of said compounds are with a preferred range of
  • Class I brighteners as used herein, and as described in Modern Electroplating, Third Edition, F. Lowenheim, Editor, is meant to include aromatic sulfonates, sulfonamides, sulfonimides, etc., as well as aliphatic or aromatic-aliphatic olefinically unsaturated sulfonates, sulfonamides, sulfonimides, etc. Specific examples of such plating additives are:
  • plating additive compounds which may be used singly or in suitable combinations, are desirably employed in amounts ranging from about 0.5 to 10 grams per liter and provide the advantages described in the above reference and which are well known to those skilled in the art of nickel electroplating.
  • Class II brighteners as used herein, and as described in Modern Electroplating, Third Edition, F. Lowenheim, Editor, is meant to include plating additive compounds such as reaction products of epoxides with alpha-hydroxy acetylenic alcohols such as diethoxylated 2-butyne-1,4-diol N-heterocyclics, dye-stuffs, acetylenic amines, etc.
  • a Class II brightener When used alone or in combination, desirably in amounts ranging from about 5 to 1000 milligrams per liter, a Class II brightener may produce no visual effect on the electrodeposit, or may produce semi-lustrous, fine-grained deposits. However, best results are obtained when Class II brighteners are used with one or more Class I brighteners in order to provide optimum deposit luster, rate of brightening, leveling, bright plate current density range, low current density coverage, etc.
  • anti-pitting or wetting agents as used herein is meant to include a material which functions to prevent or minimize gas pitting.
  • An anti-pitting agent when used alone or in combination, desirably in amounts ranging from about 0.05 to 1 gram per liter, may also function to make the baths more compatible with contaminants, such as oil, grease, etc. by their emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing, etc. action on such contaminants and thereby promote attaining of sounder deposits.
  • Preferred anti-pitting agents may include sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl ether-sulfate and sodium di- alkylsulfosucbinates.
  • the nickel compounts employed for electrodepositing nickel are typically added as the sulfate, chloride, sulfamate, or fluoborate salts.
  • the sulfate, chloride, sulfamate and fluoborate salts of nickel are employed in concentrations sufficient to provide nickel in the electroplating solutions of this invention in concentrations ranging from about 10 to 150 grams per liter.
  • the nickel compounds employed for electrodepositing nickel are typically added as the sulfate, grams per liter, preferably about 45 grams per liter of boric acid or other buffering agents to control the pH (e.g.; from about 3.0-5.0, preferably 4.0) and to prevent high current density burning.
  • solution agitation may be employed. Air agitation, mechanical stirring, pumping, cathode rod and other means of solution agitation are all satisfactory. Additionally, the solutions may be operated without agitation.
  • the operating temperature of the electroplating baths of this invention may range from about 40°C to about 70°C, preferably from about 50°C to 62°C.
  • the average cathode current density may range from about 0.5 .to 12 amperes per square decimeter, with 3 to 6 amperes per square decimeter providing an optimum range.
  • Typical aqueous nickel-containing electroplating solutions include the following wherein all concentrations are in grams per liter (g/l) unless otherwise indicated.
  • the pH may normally tend to rise and may be adjusted with acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.
  • Anodes used in the above baths may be electrolytic or sulfur containing nickel bars, strips or small chunks in titanium baskets. All anodes are usually suitably covered with cloth or plastic bags of desired porosity to minimize introduction into the bath of metal particles, anode slime, etc. which may migrate to the cathode either mechanically or electrophoretically to give roughness in cathode deposits.
  • the substrates on which the nickel electrodeposits of this invention may be applied may be metal or metal alloys such as are commonly electrodeposited and used in the art of electroplating such as nickel, cobalt, nickel-cobalt, copper, tin, brass, etc.
  • Other typical substrate basis metals from which articles to be plated are manufactured may include ferrous metals such as iron, steel, alloy steels, copper, tin and alloys thereof such as with lead, alloys of copper such as brass, bronze, etc., zinc, particularly in the form of zinc-base die castings; all of which may bear plates of other metals, such as copper, etc.
  • Basis metal substrates may have a variety of surface finishes depending on the final appearance desired, which in turn depends on such factors as luster, brilliance, leveling, thickness, etc. of the nickel electroplate applied on such substrates.
