Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein alkalisch-cyanidisches Bad zur galvanischen Abscheidung blanker bis glänzender Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzüge, insbesondere Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzüge mit 45 bis 60 % Kupfer, bestehend aus 1 bis 60 g/1 Kupfer in Form von Kupfercyanid, 7 bis 30 g/1 Zinn in Form von Stannat, 0,1 bis 100 g/1 eines oder mehrerer Komplexbildner aus der Gruppe Phosphat, Polyphosphat, Phosphonat und Polyoxycarbonsäuren, 1 bis 50 g/1 freies Alkalicyanid, 1 bis 50 g/1 freies Alkalihydroxid und 0 bis 50 g/1 Alkalicarbonat.The invention relates to an alkaline cyanide bath for the galvanic deposition of bare to shiny copper-tin alloy coatings, in particular copper-tin alloy coatings with 45 to 60% copper, consisting of 1 to 60 g / 1 copper in the form of copper cyanide, 7 to 30 g / 1 tin in the form of stannate, 0.1 to 100 g / 1 of one or more complexing agents from the group phosphate, polyphosphate, phosphonate and polyoxycarboxylic acids, 1 to 50 g / 1 free alkali metal cyanide, 1 to 50 g / 1 free alkali metal hydroxide and 0 to 50 g / 1 alkali carbonate.

Es ist seit vielen Jahren bekannt, Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzüge aus galvanischen Bädern abzuscheiden. Insbesondere verwendet man überzüge, die 45 bis 60 % Kupfer enthalten, vorzugsweise 55 bis 60 % Kupfer, da diese einen hellen Silberglanz besitzen und nicht zum Anlaufen neigen. Sie finden daher Verwendung in der dekorativen Galvanotechnik als Ersatz für beispielsweise Silber, Chrom oder Aluminium. Wegen ihrer sehr guten Löteigenschaften, ihrer Abriebbeständigkeit und ihres niedrigen elektrischen Übergangswiderstandes finden Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzüge aber auch steigende technische Anwendung.It has been known for many years to deposit copper-tin alloy coatings from galvanic baths. In particular, coatings are used which contain 45 to 60% copper, preferably 55 to 60% copper, since these have a light silver luster and do not tend to tarnish. They are therefore used in decorative electroplating to replace silver, chrome or aluminum, for example. Because of their very good soldering properties, their abrasion resistance and their low electrical contact resistance, copper-tin alloy coatings are also used increasingly in technical applications.

Solche Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungen werden überwiegend aus alkalischen, cyanidhaltigen Elektrohyten abgeschieden, die das Zinn als Stannat enthalten. Andere Elektrohyte enthalten Phosphat und Pyrophosphate als Komplexbildner und außerdem Kolloide, wie z.B. Polypeptide als Glanzzusätze (DE-PS 860 300). Diese bekannten Bäder müssen bei hohen, konstanten Temperaturen (650C und höher) betrieben werden, um gleichmässige Schichten konstanter Zusammensetzung zu erhalten. Das gleiche gilt auch für die Einstellung der Cyanid- und Hydroxidkonzentration im Bad. Das Arbeiten mit diesen Bädern ist daher schwierig und umständlich.Such copper-tin alloys are mainly deposited from alkaline, cyanide-containing electrohytes, which contain the tin as stannate. Other Electrohytes contain phosphate and pyrophosphates as complexing agents and also colloids, such as polypeptides as gloss additives (DE-PS 860 300). These known baths must be operated at high, constant temperatures (65 ° C. and higher) in order to obtain uniform layers of constant composition. The same applies to the setting of the cyanide and hydroxide concentration in the bath. Working with these baths is therefore difficult and cumbersome.

Es war Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein alkalisch-cyanidisches Bad zur galvanischen Abscheidung blanker bis glänzender Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzüge gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 zu entwickeln, das bei niedrigeren Temperaturen betrieben werden kann und bei dem die überzugzusammensetzung weniger stark von Schwankungen der Badbestandteile abhängig ist.It was an object of the present invention to develop an alkaline cyanide bath for the electrodeposition of bright to shiny copper-tin alloy coatings, which can be operated at lower temperatures and in which the coating composition is less dependent on fluctuations in the bath components is.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Bad eine oder mehrere organische Substanzen aus einer oder mehreren der folgenden Gruppen

    • R2= 0-(CN2CH2O)nH oder H
    • n= 10, 12 oder 14 bedeuten
    in Mengen von 0,05 bis 5 g/1 enthält.

  • a) Fatty acid amido-alkyl-dialkylamine oxides of the general formula
    • R 1 -CO-NH (CH 2 ) n -N (R 2 ) 2 -0, where
    • R 1 = alk y l group with 11-17 carbon atoms
    • R 2 = alkyl group with 1 - 5 carbon atoms
    • n = 1-30 mean
  • b) fatty acid-amido-alkyl-dialkylamine-betaine of the general formula
    • R 1 -CO-NH (CH 2 ) n -⊕N (R 2 ) 2 -CH Z -COO⊖, where
    • R 1 = alkyl group with 11 - 17 carbon atoms
    • R 2 = alk y l group with 1 - 5 carbon atoms

    contains in amounts of 0.05 to 5 g / 1.

Besonders bewährt haben sich die entsprechenden β-Naphthole.The corresponding β-naphthols have proven particularly useful.

Vorzugsweise enthalten die Bäder 1 bis 3 g/1 dieser organischen Substanzen aus einer oder mehreren der Gruppen a) bis c).The baths preferably contain 1 to 3 g / 1 of these organic substances from one or more of groups a) to c).

Die aus solchen Bädern abgeschiedenen Oberzüge sind blank, aber noch nicht glänzend. Zur Abscheidung glänzender Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzüge setzt man dem Bad noch zusätzlich 0,05 bis 2 g/1 eines oder mehrerer Glanzmittel zu, ausgewählt aus einer oder mehreren der folgenden Gruppen:

  • a) Polyäthylendiamine der allgemeinen Formel H 2 N-(CH 2)n-NH2 mit n= 6 - 100 bzw. deren Umsetzungsprodukte mit Benzylchlorid oder Epichlorhydrin

  • d) Benzylpyridincarboxylate der Formel (C6H5-CH2-C5H4N⊕-COONa)Ce⊖
The top layers separated from such baths are bare, but not yet shiny. To deposit shiny copper-tin alloy coatings, an additional 0.05 to 2 g / l of one or more brighteners, selected from one or more of the following groups, is added to the bath:
  • a) Polyethylenediamines of the general formula H 2 N- ( CH 2 ) n -NH 2 with n = 6-100 or their reaction products with benzyl chloride or epichlorohydrin
  • b) Benzaldehydes with one or more hydroxyl and / or alkoxy groups on the core and cinnamaldehyde or their reaction products with rhodanides and sulfites.

  • d) benzylpyridinecarboxylates of the formula (C 6 H 5 -CH 2 -C 5 H 4 N⊕-COONa) Ce⊖

Vorzugsweise enthalten die Bäder 0,8 bis 1,5 g/1 dieser Glanzmittel. Da die Verbindungen der Gruppe a) und b) in Wasser sehr schwer löslich sind, werden sie vorteilhafterweise erst mit Benzylchlorid oder Epichlorhydrin bzw. Rhodanid oder Sulfit zu wasserlöslichen Verbindungen umgesetzt.The baths preferably contain 0.8 to 1.5 g / l of these brighteners. Since the compounds of group a) and b) are very sparingly soluble in water, they are advantageously first reacted with benzyl chloride or epichlorohydrin or rhodanide or sulfite to give water-soluble compounds.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Bäder können mit unlöslichen Anoden betrieben werden, wie z.B. mit Edelstahlanoden. Die Betriebstemperaturen liegen bei 38 bis 58°C, die Stromdichten zwischen 0,4 und 3,0 A/dm2 und die pH-Werte zwischen 11,5 und 12,5.The baths according to the invention can be operated with insoluble anodes, such as with stainless steel anodes. The operating temperatures are between 38 and 58 ° C, the current densities between 0.4 and 3.0 A / dm 2 and the pH values between 11.5 and 12.5.

Bewährt haben sich Bäder, die 2 bis 10 g Kupfer in Form von Kupfercyanid, 10 bis 20 g/l Zinn in Form von Alkalistannat, 10 bis 50 g/1 Komplexbildner, 5 bis 30 g/1 freies Alkalicyanid, 5 bis 30 g/1 freies Alkalihydroxid, 5 bis 20 g/1 Alkalicarbonat, 1 bis 3 g/1 der organischen Substanz und 0,8 bis 1,5 g/1 Glanzzusatz enthalten.Baths containing 2 to 10 g copper in the form of copper cyanide, 10 to 20 g / l tin in the form of alkali tannate, 10 to 50 g / 1 complexing agent, 5 to 30 g / 1 free alkali cyanide, 5 to 30 g / 1 free alkali hydroxide, 5 to 20 g / 1 alkali carbonate, 1 to 3 g / 1 of the organic substance and 0.8 to 1.5 g / 1 gloss additive.
