Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrolysis bath allowing the deposition of a gold-copper-cadmium-zinc alloy and to its use in electroplating.
- the present invention aims to provide a bath allowing the deposition of a gold-copper-cadmium-zinc alloy from the cyanide complexes of these four metals and providing brilliant deposits ranging from pink to yellow.
- the object of the present invention is the galvanic bath defined in claim 1 and the galvanic process using this bath according to claim 6.
- Such a bath must contain the metals of the alloy deposited, preferably within the limits of the following concentrations: from 1 to 20 g / I of gold, from 6 to 70 g / I of copper, from 0.1 to 5 g / I of cadmium and from 1 to 50 g / I of zinc.
- These various metals must be introduced into the bath in the form of soluble salts, more precisely in the form of cyanide complexes, but without an excess of potassium or sodium cyanide, that is to say without free cyanide according to the definition given in the US Patent 2660554, according to which the free cyanide is the portion of cyanide of alkali metal theoretically not combined with the other metals present in the form of complex salts.
- the bath must preferably contain from 1 to 50 g / 1 of copper cyanide CuCN or zinc cyanide Zn (CN) 2 which, during the preparation of the bath or during electrolysis, make it possible to avoid the formation of free cyanide by hydrolysis.
- the deposition bath of the gold-copper-cadmium-zinc alloy which is the subject of the present invention it is no longer copper, but zinc which plays the main role in the balance of different ions present, allowing to obtain the desired deposit.
- the cyanide complex of zinc can play the role held by free cyanide in baths of gold-copper-cadmium alloy.
- the cyanide groups linked to zinc or cadmium can, under certain conditions, be released into the bath according to the balance which governs the concentrations of the different ions.
- the concentration of total cyanide (bound to zinc and cadmium) must be of the order of one to four times the value of the zinc concentration, this zinc cyanide concentration being controlled by the amount of copper cyanide or zinc cyanide involved in the preparation of the bath.
- composition of the gold-copper-cadmium-zinc alloy bath allows in the practice of electrolysis a much greater margin of concentration of the various constituents than the bath bath formulations.
- gold-copper-cadmium alloy known so far.
- a bath containing 4 g / l of gold, 0.8 g / l of cadmium, 35 g / l of copper and 10 g / l of zinc has a total cyanide content of 30 to 40 g / l, which which gives a ratio of 1/1 of the total copper / cyanide concentrations. It provides good deposits.
- the bath of gold-copper-cadmium-zinc alloy which is the subject of the present invention allows the deposition of a correct alloy from the point of view of the titer and the texture, at a speed greater than that allowed by conventional baths, ie 1 ⁇ m per minute, while a speed of 0.5 ⁇ m per minute is generally considered to be relatively high.
- methyl phosphonic acids whose molecule contains one or more nitrogen atoms which can be used are for example amino-tri- (methylene-phosphonic), 1-hydroxy-ethylidene 1.1 diphosphonic, ethylene-diamine tetra- (methylene -phosphinic), hexamethylene-diamine-tetra (methylene-phosphonic) or methylene-triamine-penta- (methylene-phosphonic).
- R represents an alkylene group in which the number of carbon atoms is campris between 1 and 4, or again nitri-10-triacetic acids (NTA) or oxycarbonyl-ethyl-amino-diacetic.
- NTA nitri-10-triacetic acids
- All these acids are preferably used in the form of soluble salts, that is to say in the form of potassium, sodium, ammonium or amine salts. To be effective, all of these compounds must be able to complex cadmium ions in a solution free of free potassium or sodium cyanides.
- amido-propyl-dimethyl-aminooxides of saturated fatty acids of general formula dimethylamino-oxides of saturated fatty acids, of general formula dimethyl-alkyl-amino-oxides, of general formula and bis- (2 hydroxyethyl) -alkyl-amino-oxides, of general formula where n always represents a number between 11 and 20.
- the fatty acid or alkyl groups can also be ethoxylated.
- phosphorus-containing esters of ethylene oxide chains linked to an aliphatic chain of general formula monoester, or diester.
- n represents a number between 8 and 18
- x represents a number between 6 and 15
- M represents a sodium or potassium ion.
- concentrations of these various organic adducts can vary within a relatively large range, from 20 to 200 g / l for the complexing agents and from 0.1 to 50 ml / l for the surfactants.
- the electrolytic bath which is the subject of the present invention is preferably used at a pH of 9 to 11, with a current density of 0.6 to 2.5 A / dm 2 and at a temperature of 50 ° to 75 ° C.
- Zinc (as zinc cyanide Zn (CN) 2 and double zinc cyanide and potassium K 2 Zn (CN) 4 )] 10 g / 1
- wetting agent (amid propyl-dimethyl-amino-oxide of fatty acids from 11 to 17 carbons) 9% solution 2 ml / l
- the mixture of zinc cyanide and double cyanide of zinc and potassium was composed so that the total cyanide content, determined by a solution of silver nitrate 0.1 N, in the presence of NaOH and KI, gives a value of 30 g / I of KCN linked to zinc.
- zinc in this bath composition, only in the form of double cyanide of zinc and potassium, we would find 40 g / I of total KCN, ie four times the concentration of zinc.
- a steel plate 5 cm long and 2 cm wide was subjected to electrolysis, in this bath, at a current density of 0.75 A / dm 2 at the temperature of 60 ° C.
- the deposit obtained is uniform and bright, pale yellow in color and the title of the deposited alloy is 18 carats.
