Conventionally, the zinc substitution method is well known as a method for applying nickel plating to aluminum. In this method, the aluminum surface is coated with a thin layer of zinc through zinc substitution treatment, and then nickel plating is applied. - For boat fishing, the so-called double zincate method is used, in which the zinc coating layer is removed once and zinc is replaced again to ensure adhesion, and nickel plating is also performed after copper plating. The method to do this is well known.

The conventional zinc substitution method has a wide range of suitable substitution treatment conditions when the purity of aluminum is high, but as alloy components such as silicon and copper increase, the substitution treatment conditions become narrower and the silicon content increases. When it comes to aluminum alloy die casting with a maximum of 13%, it is virtually impossible to obtain a nickel plating film with excellent adhesion.

In order to solve the problems of the conventional method, the present inventor leveled the surface of an aluminum alloy die cast by immersing it in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, and then immersing it in nitric acid containing fluorine ions. We have invented a method in which silicon, which is harmful to nickel plating, is selectively removed from the surface of an aluminum alloy die-cast to lower the silicon concentration on the surface, and then nickel plating is applied.

The purpose of the immersion in the alkaline aqueous solution in the first step is to level the surface by degreasing the surface of the aluminum alloy die casting and dissolving the surface layer, thereby reducing waviness on the surface of the aluminum alloy die casting.

The second step is carried out in order to selectively remove silicon using fluorine ions and quickly dissolve the etching smut generated at this time into a solution using nitric acid to obtain a clean surface. In order to confirm this effect, the surface of the aluminum alloy die cast in the cast state was analyzed using EPMA, and the aluminum alloy die cast that had gone through the first and second steps shown in the examples below were also analyzed and compared. I tried.

As a result, the silicon content in the cast state is 13.8

Additionally, due to the first and second steps, the surface roughness of the aluminum alloy die-casting increases, the shape becomes more complicated, and the anchor effect that greatly controls the adhesion of the plating film (complicating the interface between the plating film and the material) This creates physical resistance to plating peeling (anchoring effect).

That is, the gist of the present invention is that when applying nickel plating to an aluminum alloy die-cast, the first step is to immerse the aluminum alloy die-cast in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, and to immerse the die-cast aluminum alloy in nitric acid containing fluorine ions. This is a nickel plating method for aluminum alloy die casting, characterized in that the surface is conditioned by a second step of dipping.

In the nickel plating method of the present invention, there is no need to perform copper plating in advance as is often used in conventional methods, and nickel plating is directly performed after the second step. In addition, aluminum alloy die-casting products generally have complicated shapes,
In order to ensure good plating coverage, electroless nickel plating based on nickel-phosphorus or nickel-boron is preferable to electrolytic plating.
