Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of forming a corrosion-resistant nickel multilayer on a substrate.
  • Such corrosion-resistant nickel multilayer systems are used, e.g ., in automotive industry, sanitary industry, furniture fitting industry, spectacles industry and for jewelry.
  • the nickel multilayer normally consists of two or three nickel layers: an optional first layer having a rather noble (positive) electric potential, a second nickel layer which is a bright nickel layer and which is less noble than the first nickel layer and a third nickel layer which is plated on top of the second (bright) nickel layer.
  • the second nickel layer may also be split into two nickel layers: a high sulfur nickel layer, which is very active and which is deposited on the first nickel layer and a further active, high leveling and bright nickel layer. Plating of the uppermost (third) nickel layer is performed while co-depositing particles which are incorporated into this third nickel layer. Finally a chromium layer is plated on top of the third nickel layer.
  • the chromium layer contains holes (pores) due to the particles being incorporated into the third nickel layer. Any corrosive attack takes place through these holes and will first cause dissolution of the less noble second (bright) nickel layer. As long as the (top) third nickel layer and the chromium layer do not collapse, corrosion remains invisible. Corrosion stops at the first more noble nickel layer which protects the base material against any corrosion, and proceeds laterally until all less noble nickel in the second (bright) nickel layer is dissolved.
  • the described system works on plated plastic articles where the metal layer plated first normally is copper as well as on steel parts. Its performance is checked by the CASS test (ASTM B368: Copper-Accelerated Acetic Acid-Salt Spray Testing). The result of this test is given as a rank between 1 and 10 where '10' means: no visible change compared to a surface without any corrosive attack and '1' denotes a destroyed surface. The test furthermore distinguishes between the appearance of a surface after prolonged corrosion, and the base material corrosion. It therefore gives a pair of numbers, e.g., 10/9 which means: no attack of the base material but some minor change of appearance of a surface.
  • CASS testing correlates with the number of pores being produced in the chromium layer which are in turn due to the incorporation of inert particles into the third nickel layer ( E.P.Harbulak et al., "Chromium Microporosity and Active Sites", Plating and Surface Finishing, (1989) 58-61 ).
  • the electric potential difference established between the first (semi-bright) nickel layer and the second (bright) nickel layer is adjusted to be in a range of from 90 mV to 140 mV.
  • the electric potential and the resulting potential difference are determined using the STEP test (ASTM B764: "Simultaneous Thickness and Electrochemical Potential Determination of Individual Layers in Multilayer Nickel Deposit”).
  • the third nickel layer must be more noble than the second nickel layer, as the third nickel layer with its tiny pores has to cover the second (bright) nickel layer without experiencing any dissolution once corrosion takes place.
  • a potential difference between the third nickel layer and the second nickel layer in a range of from 20 mV to 60 mV normally is adjusted.
  • WO 2005/106106 A1 discloses an aqueous dispersion for the use as a finishing agent for textiles, wherein the dispersion contains a pyrogenically produced, aggregated dioxide powder and a cationic polymer which is soluble in the dispersion.
  • EP 1 894 888 A1 1 discloses an aqueous silica dispersion which is cationically stabilized. Such dispersion is mentioned to be used as a paint to be applied on paper, foils and onto other printing media, as a coating on a substrate like wood, plastics, metal, textiles and foils for improving the mechanical and optical properties thereof, as a coating on foils for improving the separation of two foils from each other and in grinding and polishing agents.
  • DE 24 32 724 A1 refers to a nickel deposition solution comprising alkali metal silicates and kaolin to form particles in the deposited nickel layer.
  • the alkali metal silicates are reported to change the charge of the kaolin particles in order to make the incorporation thereof into the nickel deposit possible.
  • US 4,655,882 A discloses a process for manufacturing zinc-silica composite plated steel.
  • the galvanization bath contains ions of zinc, for example ZnSO 4 , and silica particles. After electrochemical deposition of the zinc-silica composite plated steel silane coupling treatment is performed with alkoxysilane.
  • GB 1 421 975 A discloses a process for the deposition on a surface of a metallic coating.
  • the deposition is carried out from an aqueous bath, more especially by means of electroplating.
  • the solution contains ions of the metal, for example NiSO 4 and a finely-divided solid, for example silicon carbide or other non-metallic, for example oxides.
  • the aqueous bath contains an amino-organosilicon compound, which contains at least one H 2 N-group. The amino-organosilicon compound is preferably reacted with the solid.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a solution for electrochemically depositing a metal on a substrate.

  • An even further object of the present invention is to provided means to improve uniformity of resistance to corrosion attack to the surface of a metallic coating, in particular of a nickel coating, even more particularly of a nickel coating coated with a chromium coating.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide means to improve uniformity of pores formed in the chromium coating and in particular to provide means to improve uniformity of distribution of non-conductive particles incorporated into a nickel layer which is deposited directly underneath the chromium coating.

  • Amino means the moiety -NR'R", wherein R' and R" are independently selected from the group comprising hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl or, alternatively, may form one single divalent group to be with the N atom a ring moiety.
  • Silica roughly is silicon dioxide. Silica particles may vary, depending on the method of production thereof, in terms of particles' size, degree of agglomeration, degree of crystallinity, specific surface area thereof, porosity and the like. “Silica” in accordance with the present invention may also be understood as a material which consists of particles of any other material like alumina, wherein these particles of the other material are completely covered with the silica material, such that the particles' surface predominately behaves like a silica surface. Silica is commercially available under trade names like Aerosil® (Evonik Degussa), HDK® (Wacker Chemie) and Cab-O-Sil® (Cabot). Silica may be crystalline or amorphous. Silica may also be provided as a colloid.
  • the invention makes use of particles having an improved performance regarding their behavior in metal electrolytes, preferably nickel electrolytes and in an electric field.
  • the particles allow the creation of high pore counts and a wide range of pore sizes.
  • the positive electric charge on the silica particles is imparted to the silica particles by providing same with at least one silicon containing organic moiety thus giving the silica particles this positive electric charge while being in contact with the solution.
  • One aspect of the present invention is therefore to provide a solution for electrochemically depositing nickel on a substrate, said solution containing nickel ions to be deposited, and silica particles, wherein at least one silicon containing organic moiety is provided which imparts the silica particles a positive electric charge while being in contact with the solution.
  • Said at least one silicon containing organic moiety comprises at least one functional group selected from the group comprising amino, quaternized ammonium, quaternized phosphonium and quaternized arsonium and is preferably bonded to the silica particles.
  • the at least one functional group imparts the silica particles the positive electric charge as required while being in contact with said solution.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a method of electrochemically depositing a metal on a substrate, said method comprising the following method steps: (a) contacting the substrate and at least one anode with the solution for electrochemically depositing a metal according to the present invention and (b) applying an electric current to flow through the substrate and the at least one anode so that metal is deposited on the substrate.
  • a nickel layer produced in accordance with the method of the present invention and by using the solution of the present invention is deposited as a part of a nickel multilayer structure, e.g ., a two-, three or four layered nickel multilayer structure, which is preferably superposed by a chromium layer.
  • a further aspect of the present invention is to provide a method of forming a corrosion-resistant nickel multilayer on a substrate, wherein the method comprises the following method steps: (a) depositing a first nickel layer having a first electric potential, (b) depositing a second nickel layer having a second electric potential which is more negative than the first electric potential ( i.e ., the second nickel layer is less noble than the first nickel layer) over the first nickel layer, and (c) depositing a third nickel layer using the solution for electrochemically depositing a metal of the invention over the second nickel layer.
  • silica In water, silica will normally develop a negative net charge, and therefore will not be transferred to the cathode where it is intended to produce pores. Instead it will be transferred to the anode and at elevated concentrations might even block the anode bags.
  • at least one organic moiety which imparts the silica particles a positive electric charge when being in contact with the solution, a uniform high pore count in the chromium layer is achieved.
  • Such advantage is combined with silica having other advantages over other material particles to be incorporated into the third nickel layer, these other advantages being that silica is highly porous and that it exhibits a hydrophilic surface.
  • Porous hydrophilic silica (or glass particles) (which are commercially available in almost any size or porosity) is chosen instead of ground alumina or minerals like talc, because it is easily dispersible in water or electrolyte for a long time.
  • High porosity of the silica particles offers the additional benefit of attributing the particles a low specific gravity which in turn causes more uniform distribution thereof in the plating solution because of a lower tendency to sediment. This in turn makes sophisticated and complicated air injection into the bath solution unnecessary which would otherwise be required to keep the particles suspended.
  • silica particles are not prone to precipitation in water. For this reason silica particles can be applied to an eieciroiyie solution as suspension which makes replenishment very simple and reliable. While other inorganic material, especially talc, at slightly elevated pore concentration ( e.g ., > 20,000 cm -2 ) causes a hazy chromium deposit, the newly invented powder does not produce any visible haze even at a pore count which is much higher than 100,000 cm -2 .
  • a further great advantage of the present invention is the commercial availability of a huge number of different types of silica.
  • Silica particles having a porosity and size in a wide range are available and can easily be provided with the silicon containing organic moieties as desired. Because the particles after modification with the organic moieties have a defined positive electric charge, the pore count may simply be adjusted by setting the current density and by adjusting the concentration of the modified silica particles in the metal electrolyte, in particular nickel electrolyte. There is no requirement to provide a sophisticated and complicated architecture of air agitation which would lead to unpredictable results.
  • the organic moieties are silicon containing organic moieties. Silanes and siloxanes or the like as silicon containing organic compounds are easily reacted to form the silicon containing organic moieties attached, preferably covalently bonded, to the surface of the silica particles.
  • the at least one organic moiety is bound to the silica particles.
  • a chemical (covalent) bond is formed between corresponding reactive centers on the organic moiety on the one hand and the silica surface on the other hand.
  • Chemical bonding ensures that the moieties imparting the silica particles the positive charge are not desorbed or otherwise peeled away from the silica particles.
  • the positive charge delivered to the silica particles by the organic moieties is constant and does not depend from any surface effects like an equilibrium which forms in the electrolyte deposition solution.
  • the organic moieties have a positive electric charge on at least one of the atoms thereof, i.e ., on a nitrogen or phosphorus or arsenic atom.
  • the positive electric charge may be provided by a chemical radical which is part of the organic moiety which forms or has a positive electric charge.
  • the latter embodiment of chemical radicals possess a permanent positive electric charge, i.e ., ammonium, phosphonium and arsonium radicals. Chemical radicals form such positive electric charge only under the conditions of metal plating, i.e ., due to the pH conditions present in the metal plating solution. Chemical radicals which form such positive electric charge are for example amine radicals.
  • such positive electric charge is formed or provided by at least one functional group selected from the group comprising amino, quaternized ammonium, quaternized phosphonium and quaternized arsonium.
  • quaternized ammonium, quaternized phosphonium and quaternized arsonium feature a permanent positive electric charge
  • amino features a positive electric charge only if the pH of the metal deposition solution is below a certain threshold value, which may be defined to be pH about 7, more preferably pH about 6, even more preferably pH about 5.5, even more preferably pH about 5 and most preferably pH about 4.5.

  • positive charges are introduced into silica particles by bonding a silane, an aminosilane for example, to the silica particles' surface.
  • a silane may be bonded to the silica particles' surface which has at least one of ammonium, phosphonium and arsonium groups or which does not have such groups when the silane is bonded to the silica particles' surface, but wherein such onium groups are formed thereafter, i.e., when the silanes have already been bonded to the silica particles' surface.
  • the at least one organic moiety is formed by a reaction of the silica particles with a reagent, wherein the reagent has general chemical Formula I, II, III or IV: (R 1 O) 3 Si-R 2 -QR 3 R 4 I (R 1 O) 3 Si-R 2 -Q 4 R 3 R 4 R 5 II (R 1 O) 2 Si-R 2 -(QR 3 R 4 ) 2 III (R 1 O) 2 Si-R 2 -(Q + R 3 R 4 R 5 ) 2 IV wherein
  • silica particles provided with the organic moiety show an overwhelming effect: Only 50 mg/I of silica modified with this material may produce more than 100,000 pores per square centimeter when being co-deposited into a nickel layer. While other material particles require a concentration of > 300 mg/l and a careful air distribution in the electrolyte, porous silica provided with the organic moiety does not need any care for the air agitation or the air distribution.
  • the at least one organic moiety is formed by a reaction of the silica particles with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane.

  • Rectangular steel panels were pretreated properly and plated with approximately 10 ⁇ m semi-bright nickel and approximately 10 ⁇ m bright nickel. Such prepared panels were then plated in the above described electrolyte at a current density of 3 A/dm 2 for three minutes and afterwards for three minutes in a conventionally available chromium electrolyte (Unichrome® 843 of Atotech).
  • Average thickness of the chromium layer was found to be 0.23 ⁇ m on the edges of the panels and 0.16 ⁇ m in the middle of the panels. Total thickness of all nickel layers was 17 ⁇ m / 25 ⁇ m.
  • the electric potential between the semi-bright nickel layer and the bright nickel layer was in the range of from 121 mV to 135 mV, and the potential between the last two nickel layers (between second and third nickel layer) was in a range of from 28 mV top 35 mV.
  • the average pore count was 55,000 cm -2 . After 198 hours CASS testing the ranking (average of five independent inspectors) for appearance was 9.33 and for protection was 9.72.
  • Syloid 244FP (Grace, peak volume 15.2% at 3.3 ⁇ m) was dried at 110°C in an oven for two hours.
  • the silica powder lost 4.2 % weight.
  • 5.0 ml (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane were dissolved in 100 ml chloroform (HPLC grade, water ⁇ 0.001 %) and poured over 15 g of the silica powder in a PP bottle which then was tightly closed.
  • the opaque gel after short reaction time turned to a slurry. After one hour, the suspension was poured over a filter paper in a Buchner funnel, the chloroform was sucked off by vacuum and the remaining material was carefully washed with chloroform. The resulting material was again dried at 110°C until its weight did not change anymore. The weight gain after the reaction was 9.5 %.
  • Example 3 Preparation of silica particles modified by bonding an aminosilane to the surface thereof and use thereof in a nickel electroplating bath:
  • a stock of 5 I Watts nickel electrolyte one liter was adjusted with saccharine, surfactant and brightener as is already described in example 1.
  • the adjusted electrolyte was used to plate micro-porous nickel within three minutes at 2 A cell current. The amount of pores versus current was then calculated.
  • Fig. 1 shows the relationship obtained of the pore count vs.
  • the pore count for conventional silica particles in the nickel electroplating bath is about 27,000 cm -2 at a current density of 5 A/dm 2
  • the pore obtained with silica particles modified with the silicon containing organic moieties according to the invention is about 50,000 cm -2 at the same current density.
  • Example 4 (Use of the modified silica in a nickel electroplating bath):
  • a rectangular tank filled with 2 liter nickel electrolyte as described in Example 1 was used to plate a micro-discontinuous nickel layer over panels previously plated with approximately 10 ⁇ m of bright nickel at different concentrations of powder SD-530 modified with aminosilane as was described in Example 1.
  • a ratio of pore count vs. concentration of the powder as shown in Fig. 2 was obtained. This ratio is linear up to high values of powder concentration and pore count, respectively. Pore count has been found to rise to about 200,000 cm -2 if a powder concentration of 100 mg/l is used and is expected to even rise further if the concentration is increased.
  • a nickel electrolyte was prepared as described in Example 1. The plating was repeated in the same plating tank. This time SD-530 powder was used without silane-modification. The electrolyte contained 2 g/l powder. The pore count was found to be only 2,300 cm -2 .
  • Example 6 (Use of the modified silica in a nickel electroplating bath):
  • a 250 I tank was filled with a Watts nickel solution (concentrations of main components, NiCl 2 , NiSO 4 , boric acid, as in Example 1). The solution was heated to 55°C and adjusted as described in Example 1 with organic additives like surfactant, saccharine and brightener. After adjusting the pH to 4.2 and after addition of 50 mg/l of modified silica powder, a bent panel ( Fig. 3 ) was fixed in the middle of the tank parallel to the anodes and plating was started at a current density of 5 A/dm 2 . Plating took place for three minutes. The panel then was rinsed and chromium plated. Afterwards, the panel was cut into pieces and the pores in the chromium surface were counted after copper plating (Dubpernell-Test). Pore counts according to the Table 1 were obtained.
  • Example 7 (Use of the modified silica in a nickel electroplating bath):
  • a nickel multilayer and chromium layer on top of the nickel multilayer was deposited on a bent steel plate (as shown in Fig. 4 ). Experiments were performed in 100 I tanks.
  • a first nickel plating step an about 16 ⁇ m thick semi-bright nickel layer was deposited (20 min @ 4 A/dm 2 ) on the steel plate from a commercially available semi-bright nickel plating bath (Duplalux® Step, Atotech). Thereafter, an about 8 ⁇ m thick bright nickel layer was deposited (10 min @ 4 A/dm 2 ) on top of the first nickel layer from a commercially available bright nickel plating bath (Makrolux® NF, Atotech). The electric potential of this second nickel layer was determined to be 140 mV with respect to the first nickel layer. Thereafter, an about 2 ⁇ m thick nickel layer was deposited (4 min @ 3 A/dm 2 ) on top of the bright nickel layer while silica was incorporated into this third nickel layer.
  • the solution to deposit this nickel layer was the same as that of Example 1, but instead of ethylhexylsulfate, sodium saccharate and chloralhydrate as the additives an unsaturated carboxylic acid (allyl carboxylic acid, vinyl carboxylic acid), saccharine and a brightener (Makrolux®, Atotech) were contained in the plating solution. Different silica types were used in this case as given in Table 2. The electric potential of this third nickel layer was determined to be 30 mV with respect to the second nickel layer.
  • the anodes used in all nickel plating steps were nickel pieces containing sulfur which were held in baskets.
  • chromium layer was deposited (4 min @ 10 A/dm 2 ) on top of the third nickel layer from a commercially available chromium plating bath (Glanzchrombad Cr 843, Atotech).
