Definitions

  • This invention relates to an electrolyte as well as a method for the deposition of a matt metal layer on a substrate surface.
  • the invention relates to an electrolyte which has a low concentration of the deposition metal and a method to deposit a matt metal layer by using such electrolytes.
  • the intention when depositing metal layers on substrate surfaces to gain a plain and glossy metal layer on the substrate surface may have functional properties, which properties can optimise the substrate surface for the later proposal, or decorative effects should be obtained.
  • the substrate sometimes it is preferred to have a non-glossy, matt or so-called pearlbrite metal layer on the substrate surface.
  • this intention can be based on the optical appearance of the deposit, on the other side matt or so-called pearlbrite deposits have specific technical properties, like for example to be non-glare, which properties may be desirable for technical or decorative use.
  • the application area for such a matt or pearlbrite metal layers is, for example, jewellery industry, fitting industry, automotive industry, as well as optical or fine mechanical industry. Especially in these areas non-glare metal layers are desired.
  • the deposition of matt or pearlbrite metal layers of non-allergic or low allergic metals is requested. The same is true for the application of matt or pearlbrite metal layers in the area of kitchen machinery and kitchen implements.
  • the substrate surface can be adapted to the later technical use.
  • the ductility, the hardness, the corrosion resistance, or comparable mechanical properties of the substrate surface can be optimised.
  • the international patent application WO 2007/076898 discloses an electrolyte as well as a method for the deposition of matt metal layers, especially of the metals vanadium, chrome, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, indium, tin, antimony, tellurium, rhenium, platinum, gold, thallium, bismuth, or alloys of these.
  • an emulsion and/or dispersion is formed in the electrolyte by addition of an emulsion agent and/or dispersion agent, or a wetting agent.
  • a drawback of the electrolyte as well as the method known from the state of the art is that sometimes it is difficult to gain even deposits on the substrate surface.
  • an electrolyte for the deposition of a matt metal layer of a metal of the group consisting of Co, Ni, Cu, Sn, or an alloy of these metals on a substrate surface, wherein the electrolyte comprises a substituted or unsubstituted polyalkylene oxide or a derivate of a substituted or unsubstituted polyalkylene oxide, or a wetting agent, wherein the wetting agent is fluorated or perfluorated, or is a quaternary ammonium compound substituted with a polyalkalylene oxide, for building an emulsion and/or dispersion in the electrolyte, characterised in that the electrolyte comprises at least one halogenide, sulphate, or sulfonate of an element of the group consisting of sodium, potassium, aluminium, magnesium, or boron. In an embodiment, a methanesulfonate of sodium, potassium, or magnesium is preferred. In another embodiment, aluminium sulphate
  • the cloud point is exceeded, which effect is to be avoided by normal plating electrolytes, but here leads to the desired matt effect of the deposited metal layer.
  • the addition of the mentioned inert compounds which do not comprise any depositable metal cations increases the density so that a matt metal layer is deposited even at a very low concentration of plating metal in the electrolyte.
  • the electrolyte comprises a density increasing compound within a concentration in the range of from 2 0% to 100% by weight of the concentration of the metal to be deposited.
  • the alkali compound or alkaline earth compound is comprised in the inventive electrolyte in a range between 20% to 60% by weight of the concentration of the metal to be deposited.
  • a surface active wetting agent to the inventive electrolyte is possible.
  • the addition of a surface active wetting agent supports the even deposition of metal layers further.
  • the addition of surface active wetting agents was not possible since those surface active wetting agents would influence the formation of an emulsion and/or dispersion in the electrolyte, thereby influencing the matt or pearlbrite effect of the electrolyte. If surface active wetting agents were added to the electrolytes known from the state of the art, the deposited metal layers turned to be glossy instead of being non-glare.
  • the addition of surface active wetting agents is possible without influencing the matt effect of the electrolyte.
  • the surface active wetting agent which can be added to the inventive electrolyte may be a wetting agent of the group consisting of alkyl sulphates, sulfosuccinic acid, and betaines.
  • the surface active wetting agent may be comprised in the inventive electrolyte in a concentration between 0,01 mol/l and 100 mol/l, preferably between 0,1 mol/l and 10 mol/l.
  • the density increasing compound in the inventive electrolyte is sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, or aluminium sulphate.
  • the object of the invention is solved by a method for the electrolytic deposition of a matt metal layer on a substrate surface, which matt metal layer is deposited from an electrolyte forming an emulsion and/or dispersion by conducting a current between a cathodic contacted substrate surface and an anode, which method is characterised in that 10 to 50% by weight of the metal to be deposited comprised in the electrolyte is substituted by at least on density increasing halogenide, sulphate, or sulphonate of an element of the group consisting of sodium, potassium, aluminium, magnesium, or boron.
