Definitions

  • the invention is a process for electroplating palladium and palladium alloys of the type described in the preamble clause of claim 1.
  • Precious metals are used as protective films on surfaces for a variety of reasons. In the jewelry trade, it is used to improve the appearance of an article as in gold plated jewelry. In other applications, it is used to protect against corrosion of metals and other surface materials.
  • protective films made of precious metals are used as conduction paths in electrical circuits and as contact surfaces in devices with electrical contacts. Gold is used extensively in these applications with great success. However, the increased price of gold makes it attractive to look at other precious metals as protective films on various surfaces.
  • Palladium and palladium alloys are used extensively in a variety of industrial applications. Typical examples are the jewelry trade where such films are used to protect surfaces against corrosion and to improve appearance, in the electrical arts in various electrical devices and electronic circuits and in the optical field for various types of optical devices.
  • palladium is especially attractive as an electrical contact material in electrical connectors, relay contacts, switches, etc.
  • Palladium alloys with at least 10 mole percent palladium, remainder of at least one of the metals silver nickel and copper are also useful for the same applications. Indeed, because of the increasing cost of gold, palladium and palladium alloys become more and more attractive economically as a contact material, surface material, and in other applications. In many applications where gold is used, it is often economically attractive to use palladium, provided, an inexpensive and efficient method of plating ductile and adherent palladium is available.
  • Ethylenediamine has been used in a palladium alloy plating procedure (U.S.S.R. Patent No. 519,497 issued 30 June 1976); (C. A. 85: 113802m) and it was known to the inventors that ethylenediamine is useful in palladium electroplating in the following composition bath: 28 gm/I PdCI 2 , 140 gm/I Na 2 S0 4 and sufficient ethylenediamine to dissolve the PdCl 2 .
  • the bath is used at room temperature, the current density is 20 mA/cm 2 and the pH between 11 and 12.
  • DE-A-2244437 discloses electroplating of gold and gold alloys including gold alloyed with palladium. It describes a large number of complexing agents for the metallic ions in the bath, including various aliphatic polyamines with diethylenetriamine being mentioned as an example, and it is essentially directed to the production of ductile and bright decorative platings.
  • the invention is based on a critical selection of a few complexing agents from myriads of compounds; and it has been found that palladium and its mentioned alloys may be electroplated without simultaneous hydrogen evolution, if the used complexing agent is one or more organic aliphatic polyamines selected from diaminopropane (particularly 1,3-diaminopropane), diethylenetriamine, 1,4-diaminobutane, 1,6-diaminohexane N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine and 2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane.
  • the aqueous electroplating bath is alkaline, i.e.
  • pH between 7.5 and 13.5 to avoid corrosion of the surface being plated and sufficiently conductive to allow plating i.e. greater than 10- 3 ohm-' cm- 1 .
  • Additional substances may be added to the palladium plating bath to control and adjust pH (such as a buffer), to increase conductivity and to improve the properties of the plated metal.
  • Typical substances used to improve the plated metal are lactones (i.e., phenolphthalein, phenolsulfone- phthalein, etc.), lactams, cyclic sulfate esters, cyclic imides and cyclic oxazolinones.
  • Certain poly-alkoxylated alkylphenols may also be useful. The process is also useful for plating certain palladium alloys including at least 10 mole percent palladium, remainder copper, nickel and/or silver.
  • the Figure shows a typical apparatus useful in electroplating palladium and palladium alloys in accordance with the invention.
  • the invention is a process for electroplating palladium metal or palladium alloy in which the indicated group of organic aliphatic polyamines is used as complexing agent in the palladium plating bath.
  • the conditions (pH, temperature, etc.) under which optimum plating occurs with these preferred complexing agents permits rapid plating without incorporation or evolution of hydrogen.
  • undesirable chemical attack on the surface being plated is minimal or insignificant under optimum conditions of plating with these complexing agents.
  • Alloy plating may also be carried out using the indicated complexing agents.
  • Concerned palladium alloys consists of at least 10 mole percent palladium, remainder copper, silver and/ or nickel. Other useful alloys are 60 mole percent palladium, remainder silver, copper and/or nickel, or 40 mole percent palladium, remainder silver, copper and/or nickel, etc.
  • the palladium-silver alloys are particularly useful, especially for electrical contact surfaces.
  • a large variety of counter ions may be used in the electroplating bath provided the anions are stable (chemically and electrochemically) and in particular are not subject to oxidation or reduction under conditions of the electroplating process.
  • the anion should not interfere with the plating process by either chemical attack on the surface being plated or on the metal complex system.
  • Typical anions are halides, nitrate, sulfate and phosphates. Chloride ion is preferred because of the low cost of palladium chloride and the stability of the chloride ion under conditions of the electroplating process.
  • certain ions including those set forth above, may be used as supporting electrolyte to increase conductivity of the electroplating bath.
  • the cation used for the supporting electrolyte may be any soluble ion which does not interfere with the electroplating process.
  • Alkali-metal ions Na, K, Li
  • Palladium chloride is preferred because of availability and stability.
  • useful are compounds yielding tetrachloropalladate ion in aqueous solution such as alkali-metal tetrachloropalladate (i.e., K 2 PdCI 4 ). These compounds may be used initially to make the bath and to replenish the bath.
  • the pH of the bath may vary from 7.5 to 13.5, with the range from 11.0 to 12.5 preferred.
  • the preference particularly applies when the preferred polyamines are used, namely 1,3-diaminopropane and diethylenetriamine.
  • very rapid plating can be carried out with excellent plating results.
  • a bath composition which permits rapid plating with more alkaline solution is preferred because of decreased attack on the surface being plated and decreased chances of hydrogen evolution.
  • the plating process may be carried out with or without a buffer system.
  • a buffer system is often preferred because it maintains constant pH and adds to the conductivity of the bath.
  • Typical buffer systems are the phosphate system, borax, bicarbonate, etc.
  • Preferred is the HPO-VPO-14 system often made by adding an alkali-metal hydroxide (KOH, NaOH, etc.) to an aqueous solution of the hydrogen phosphate ion.
  • concentration of buffer varies from about 0.1 Molar to 2 Molar (about 1.0+0.2 Molar preferred) and the mole ratio of hydrogen phosphate to phosphate varies from 5/1 to 1/5 (with equal mole amounts within ⁇ 50 percent preferred). These mole ratios often depend on the particular pH desired for the plating bath.
  • the bath temperature often depends on bath composition and concentration, plating cell design, pH and plating rate. Contemplated temperatures for typical conditions are from room temperature to about 80 degrees C with 40 to 60 degrees C most preferred.
  • Various surfaces may be plated using the disclosed process. Usually, the plating would be carried out on a metal surface or alloy surface but any conducting surface would appear sufficient. Also, electrolessly plated surfaces may be useful. Typical metal and alloy surfaces are copper, nickel, gold, platinum, palladium (as, for example, a surface electrolessly plated with palladium and then electroplated with palladium in accordance with the invention). Various alloy surfaces may also be used such as copper-nickel-tin alloys.
  • composition of the bath may vary within the claimed limits. In general, sufficient polyamine should be present to complex with the palladium. Usually, it is advantageous if excess polyamine is present in the bath solution.
  • the palladium concentration in the bath varies from 0.01 Molar to saturation. Preferred concentrations often depend on plating rate, cell geometry, agitation, etc. Typical preferred palladium concentration ranges for high-speed plating (54 to 1076 mA/cm 2 ) [50 to 1000 ASF] are higher than for low-speed plating (up to 54 mA/cm 2 ) [up to 50 ASF]. Preferred palladium concentration ranges for high-speed plating vary also from 0.1 1 0 1.0 Molar. For low-speed plating, the preferred range is from 0.05 to 0.2 Molar. Where palladium alloy plating is included, the alloy metal (i.e. copper, silver or nickel) replaces part of the palladium in the composition of the plating bath. Up to 90 mole percent of palladium may be replaced by alloy metal.
  • the alloy metal i.e. copper, silver or nickel
  • the amount of complexing agent may vary from 0.5 times (on the basis of moles) the concentration of the palladium species to saturation of the complexing agent. Generally, it is preferred to have excess complexing agent, typically from two times to 12 times the mole concentration of the palladium species. Most preferred is about six times the mole concentration of palladium.
  • the preferred ranges of complexing agent in terms of palladium species are the same for high-speed and low-speed baths.
  • the concentration of buffer may vary over large limits. Such concentrations often depend on cell design, plating rates, etc. Typically, the buffer concentration varies from 0.1 Molar to saturation with from 0.2 to 2.0 Molar preferred.
  • the bath may be prepared in a variety of ways well known in the art.
  • a typical preparation procedure which yields excellent result is set forth below: Equal volumes (142 ml) of 1,3-diaminopropane and water are mixed in a beaker. Heat of solution is sufficient to heat the resulting solution to about 60 degrees C. To this solution with vigorous stirring are added 50 gms of PdCI 2 in portions of 0.5 g every two minutes. Since the resulting reaction is exothermic, the solution can be maintained at 60 degrees C by adjusting the rate of addition of PdCl 2 . The solution is filtered to remove solid matter (generally undissolved PdC1 2 or PdO) and diluted to one liter.
  • Electroplating experiments are carried out in an electroplating cell provided with means for high agitation. Temperature is maintained between 50 and 65 degrees C, 55 degrees preferred. Current is passed through anode, electroplating bath and cathode. The electrical energy is supplied by a conventional power supply. The current density is 188 mA/cm 2 (175 ASF). Typical thicknesses in these experiments are 102 to 381 ⁇ m (40 to 150 microinches). The deposit is crack free as determined by a scanning electron micrograph at 10,000 magnification. Both adherence and ductility are excellent. Similar results are obtained using 0.1 Molar palladium and 0.5 Molar palladium. Plating rate is often determined by the thickness desired after a predetermined period of plating.
  • a strip line plating apparatus see, for example, US-A-4,153,523 and US-A-4,230,538 the strip line being plated is exposed to the plating solution for a set period of time (depending on the speed the strip is moving down the line and the length of the plating cell) and the plating rate is adjusted to give the desired thickness in this period of time. Similar results are obtained with diethylenetriamine. Experiments carried out with 2 hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane, 1,4-diaminobutane and 1,6-diaminohexane yield similar results.
