Abstract

There are rather more difficulties for electroplating aluminum and its alloys than other metal material, which is mainly due to defective adhesion between the aluminum base material and the electroplated layer, leading to easy delamination of the electroplated layer. This invention provides a surface pretreatment method which is effective for cast aluminum alloy parts for electroplating processes. Oxide films of Al2O3 or MgAl2O4 are removed from the cast part surface. A mixture solution of HNO3, HF and H2SO4 is used to remove alloy and create pores on the surface of the cast aluminum alloy part by erosion. The part is then place into a mixture solution of potassium hydroxide and isopropanol for etching silicon so that the eutectic silicon structure is etched deeply to make the pores in the part deeper. Therefore, after electroplating, tree root like contact faces are present between the bottom nickel and base material of the cast aluminum alloy part. These tree root like contact faces result from the vacancies left by the etched silicon component on the surface during etching treatment, which provide good adhesion condition and thus improve adhesion between the aluminum base material and the electroplated layer.

X month is a kind of process to solve the problem of poor adhesion between the substrate and the coating. The surface of the aluminum alloy casting is de-alloyed and woven by HN〇3, HF, Ημ 2 〇4 bath etch. The person unloads the isopropyl-mixed solution to carry out the side of 7 so that the eutectic group such as L privately causes the surface of the prayer to be deeper; the bottom surface of the alloy casting after the electric ore is recorded with the root-like contact surface of the base tree. These tree-like contact surfaces are due to the side surface treatment, and the surface stones are left (4) vacant, providing a good environment for the attachment of the surface of the IS substrate to the surface of the coating. . Further, the present invention treats the residual towel in Shangyu, and has a special method to solve the problem of adhesion between the alloy and the coating. [Prior Art] Surface treatment of electric ore: The most commonly used method of L industry towel, the plating method is very wide, except for the electric clock can be applied to all kinds of metals, nowadays it has also developed on plastic power supply. mine. Because the equipment and operation of electric mines are more difficult to control and have a long history of development, they have a certain level of technology and are now widely used in the surface treatment industry. The standard reduction potential of aluminum is a negative value (Ε〇 = -1·67 ν), and we cannot perform the precipitation in an aqueous solution. Therefore, all the steps of the electroplating of the alloy are carried out in an organic electrolytic solution or a molten salt bath. Aluminum is an element of high oxidation potential in the periodic table, so aluminum is chemically replaced with a metal having a higher reduction potential. The order of oxidation potential of a common metal is: K > Ca > Na > Mg 1247826 > Al > Zn >Cr>Fe>Sn>Pb>H>Cu>Hg>Ag>Pt>Au yttrium aluminum is a chemically active metal, but maintains a beautiful luster in dry air for a long time, resulting in a colorless and transparent surface The protection of the oxide film. However, the thickness of the oxide film is only i 10 nm, which does not achieve sufficient corrosion protection. There are many kinds of aluminum alloys, because other alloying elements such as bismuth, magnesium, copper, etc. are often added to the strength and certain specific requirements. These components often cause unevenness on the surface of the plated parts, resulting in bad money. Fortune will remove this part from the surface to ensure the adhesion and continuity of the clock layer. When electroplating aluminum and its alloys, it is more difficult to electroplate than other metal materials. If it is applied to the electroplating of aluminum by ordinary electroplating on iron or copper, it can only temporarily protect the surface. When it is placed in the air for a long time, the recording layer tends to swell and peel off everywhere, and the mechanical properties of the electric ore layer are poor, and pinholes and other defects often occur. Compared with other metals, it is electrochemically positive, and if it has the above defects, it is easy to cause corrosion at this place and peel off the coating. The reasons for such defects can be summarized as follows: L is electrochemically positive 2. The surface is easy to form an oxide film 3. Aluminum is corroded by the electrolyte 4 · The inside of the metal and the plating layer are easy to form bubbles S · There are impurities in the aluminum 6 · Electroplated metal Alloy can not be formed with aluminum 1247826 7 · Electrolyte residual metal pores 8. Aluminum and electroplated metal thermal expansion coefficient Electroplating refers to the reduction of metal ions on the surface of the object by electroplating in a plating bath. The operation of metal atoms and growing into a coating. The end where the reduction reaction is carried out in the plating bath is called a cathode, and the end where the oxidation reaction is carried out is called an anode (Anode); the medium for performing the above reaction is called a plating solution, which is composed of electrolyte, water and some necessary Composition of ingredients. The process of the electric key can be roughly divided into five steps of polishing, pretreatment, electroplating, after treatments, and drying. According to Faraday's law, the relationship between the amount of current and the amount of deposition obtained by electrolysis is 96500, where W is the mass of the participating reactants (in g), and 1 is the time of electrolysis operation by the amount of current (amperes). Second), the amount of charge in each of the e-tables involved in the reaction. Theoretically, the amount of Faraday's electricity should be 1 gram equivalent of atom, but in fact the plating precipitation is affected by the plating conditions and the plating bath. Usually, the current efficiency is less than 100%, so it cannot fully comply with the law. In general, electroplating is commonly used in electroplating with nickel plating, copper plating and chrome plating: (1) Nickel plating: It is commonly used for steel, brass, zinc and alloys. It can be used for side and anti-corrosion. The commonly used nickel ore is the Watts bath. It was developed 80 years ago and is easy to operate and maintain. The gamma 8 bath consists essentially of nickel and some vapors and Wei, _ is slow, and vapor 1247826 is used to promote anodic dissolution. The typical process is between 30-40 °C operating temperature, and the plating bath formula contains NiSCV7H2〇250g/l + NiCl2.6H2〇40g/l + H3B〇4 25g/b. The pH of the plating solution is about 5. 2-5. · The current density between 8 is 2-4 A/dm2. If the environmental corrosion used in the ore parts is not significant, the thickness of the bond layer is 8~13μηη; but in a highly corrosive environment, the thickness of the nickel plating layer must be 25~3〇μιη; on the plated parts, another 0.25~0· 50μιη thickness of chromium, can significantly extend the number of years of durability. (2). Copper plating: Copper is often used as an intermediate layer, which has a flat plating function and prevents natural displacement and ensures coating adhesion. The common plating bath formulation is a plating bath containing CuS〇4.5H2〇16〇_22〇§/1 and HAO4 50-75g/l at room temperature with a current density of 2~4 A/dm2. In general, the process requires a relatively high copper content and sulfuric acid is used to reduce the solubility of copper sulfate, so the copper content should not be too high to cause crystallization. The effect of sulfuric acid on the solubility of copper sulfate, the lower the concentration of sulfuric acid, the greater the solubility of copper sulfate. (3). Chrome plating: In order to improve the corrosion resistance of Ming and its alloys, the plating parts are often chrome-plated; at the same time, the wear resistance of chromium is large. When the alloy is used for axles, if the part of the contact bearing is chrome-plated, It has the same degree of wear resistance as steel bearings. The commonly used chrome plating formula is Cr〇3 4〇〇 g/1 + H2S〇4 4 with an operating temperature of 40-50 ° C and a current density of 3〇_8〇A/dm2. Generally, the sau alloy is subjected to grinding, degreasing, acid leaching, zinc replacement (zinc strontium treatment), electric ore and post-treatment, from the finished material to the plating. The degreasing and acid leaching of strontium sulphide is replaced by the pre-treatment process, the effectiveness of electroplating bismuth alloy plating in this step. 1247826 Xizhiming alloy money by zincate treatment of the age of the alloy according to the wrong, generally. β washing - 瘵 ru method to remove oil or solvent degreasing - alkaline solution cleaning - cleaning - pickling - cleaning - zincate treatment - Cleaning - double cleaning ~ plating. The defects of electric ore produced by incomplete treatment are: 1. The coating will peel off or generate bubbles. 2. Electroplating has irregularities and small holes. 3. Corrosion resistance of electroplated products is reduced due to the generation of bubbles. 4. Electroplating layer embrittlement 5. Gloss Non-uniform and 8G% of the non-performing rate of electric ore is caused by poor pre-treatment. Therefore, when electroplating is performed, it is more difficult to electroplate than other metal materials. The main reason is that it occurs in aluminum. The adhesion between the material and the plating layer is poor, and the plating layer is easily peeled off. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Electroplating of aluminum alloy castings has always been a difficult process. Because the inner part of the aluminum alloy casting contains holes, the Wei hole will be exposed after the aging. Although the plating will cover the past, the hole contains the rolling body. After the mine, there will be blisters (sinful and heavy). On the other hand, the composition of the surface of the aluminum alloy casting itself is extremely uneven, often making the pretreatment process impossible. There are two improvement methods. One is to improve the aluminum alloy casting process to reduce or completely eliminate the porosity of the casting. Another solution is effective acid immersion. After effective pickling, a casting surface with good uniformity and suitable for electroplating can be obtained, so that the surface of the complicated 1247826 aluminum alloy casting can be electroplated. The invention patent mainly solves the problem of poor adhesion between the aluminum substrate and the plating layer, and provides a method for solving the problem in this aspect. Generally used aluminum alloys for casting are mostly aluminum _ 矽 eutectic materials. When the hypoeutectic aluminum 矽 alloy is solidified, the primary phase (primary aluminum) is formed first, when the concentration of the melt reaches the eutectic composition. That is, an aluminum-germanium eutectic structure is formed. The shape, size and distribution of the eutectic enthalpy are mainly influenced by factors such as alloy composition, solidification rate and quenching and tempering. Adding a trace amount of elements such as strontium (Sr), sb (Sb) or nano (Na) to the aluminum alloy will cause the original acicular or plate-like eutectic enthalpy to passivate and transform into a rounded structure, thereby improving the machinery. nature. When the aluminum alloy is exposed to an oxygen-containing atmosphere, an eight 12 〇 3 oxide film is formed in an instant, and if the oxide film is given sufficient time and an appropriate temperature, the Al 2 〇 3 oxide film is converted from an amorphous to a crystalline body. Since the diffusion rate of yttrium 3 is much faster in the crystal than in the amorphous, the oxide film of the crystal will settle down and no longer oxidize. The material promotes the transformation of the amorphous oxide film into a crystal, and Mg promotes the formation of MgO in the alloy. In particular, in an aluminum alloy having a content exceeding 5% by weight, since the surface energy of MgO is lower than that of A1203, a compound is preferentially formed. When MgO enters the Al2〇3 film, MgAi2〇4 (magnesium aluminum spinel) is formed, and its crystallization power is higher than that of a12〇3. From the above, it is known that the surface structure of a commonly used aluminum alloy casting for casting is a primary crystal aluminum and an aluminum-ruthenium eutectic structure, and an outer surface of the surface is oxidized to form an oxide film of erbium 2 〇 3 or MgAl 2 〇 4 . As shown in Fig. 1, it is the metallographic section of the plated part of the general factory. It is obvious that the joint surface of the plating layer and the machine material is smooth, and there are many defects of the crucible. The smoothness of the joint surface reduces the adhesion, and the joint surface 1247826 exists. The flaws will form the beginning of the coating to break off. According to the electroplating process used in the electroplating factory, the inscriptions and gold scales have produced a large number of bubbles under the quenching of 2(), indicating that the adhesion of the electroplated test pieces is extremely poor and cannot be tested by Wei Jialin. The metallographic structure is observed in the section where the oxygen layer is generated in the ore layer. It can be seen from Fig. 2 that the shovel layer rupture is from the part of the surface containing the tree element to the time ship, and these are not invaded. Wang's cockroaches could not be replaced with the ionic ions, thus causing some small pits on the surface with a stone surface. During the electroplating, some non-reactive pits and plating could not be effectively bonded tightly, so that the hydrogen generated during electroplating remains in it. towel. These residual (four) hydrogens swell, and they will expand from the joint surface to produce bubbles that are seen on the giant. The invention patent mainly relates to the surface pretreatment of the aluminum alloy casting for casting in the electric ore processing process, and the oxide film of Al2〇3 or MgAl2〇4 is removed on the surface of the prayer piece, and the surface of the gold casting is removed on the surface by the touch of the liquid. Alloying and hole formation, and then put a mixture of hydrogen hydroxide and isopropyl alcohol; ^ secret engraving, so that the eutectic _ tissue # engraved deeper, resulting in casting surface hole / the same deeper in the process of making electricity! The adhesion between the surface of the substrate and the bond layer is as shown in Fig. 3. After the surface treatment of the lion surface of the invention is carried out, the metallographic section of the coating layer of the Wei process is performed, and there is a plurality of roots between the nickel and the substrate. The contact surface, the root-like contact of these trees is due to the surface of the money engraving; the vacancy left by the component is invaded, providing a good environment between the coating and the substrate. [Embodiment] The process of casting the key of casting alloy is shown in Figure 4. The process parameters are shown in Figure 5. Before the electric ore 11 1247826 treatment process, the aluminum alloy castings are first placed in a degreasing solution at 50-60 ° C for chemical treatment. Degreasing procedures, because of the high chemical activity of the Ming, the surface of the oxide film formed in the air has a protective effect. However, the oxide film will be able to contain NaOH' § When the metal surface is in direct contact with the solution, the aluminum is easily invaded, and hydrogen is not generated during the oxidation of the oxide film. However, when the aluminum is invaded, a large amount of hydrogen is generated. The following formula: 2Al+2Na0H+2H20-^2NaA102+3H2 The degreased test piece is washed with water twice and then placed in an acid washing solution for acid immersion. There are many added alloying elements on the surface of the aluminum alloy. These elements are not It will be replaced with zinc. If this is done directly, the surface replacement layer will be discontinuous, which will lead to the failure of electroplating. Therefore, different aluminum alloy components must have their own special acid cleaning impregnation solution, even after the same alloy is heated. Even if only the microstructure is different, the pickling behavior will vary greatly. Since the surface of the aluminum material with good uniformity is obtained, the purpose of acid leaching is mainly to remove the non-aluminum element on the surface, and at the same time, the aluminum 矽 eutectic structure on the surface of the casting is eroded to de-alloy the surface of the aluminum alloy casting. Hole hole. During the erosion, there is not much erosion of the aluminum itself. Because HNO3 corrodes aluminum slowly, it is combined with other acids during pickling to form an inhibitor that can prevent the aluminum from being excessively eroded. The acid leaching solution of the main body is added with appropriate HF and h2S〇4 depending on the material to be treated. The acid leaching formula is mainly composed of HF and Mail 4, and HN〇3 is used as an inhibitor. The main function of HF is to erode Si. This reaction is to oxidize the surface of cerium to cerium oxide by nitric acid, and then dissolve the formed cerium oxide by hydrofluoric acid. The reaction formula is as follows:

Have a good _ sex. After the first-thin zincate treatment, the replacement surface after the water-washing and nitric acid (four) impregnation is repeated, the replacement surface is more finely adhered. Castings treated with zincate can be used to plate other metals with the affinity of zinc for other metals. Due to the layer (4), if the gold ore is required to penetrate the zinc layer and invade the aluminum material of the bottom layer, it is easy to cause poor deposition of the plating layer. After the replacement, it is necessary to wash the water twice more, and this step is the procedure for the first replacement. The second replacement is a step of repeating acid impregnation and zinc displacement, and two steps of water washing are required between each step to complete the pretreatment process. After the pre-treatment process is completed, it is the same as the general steel electroplating process. The zincate-treated part to be plated is first subjected to a nickel-plated primer plating process, then the plated layer is flattened by copper plating, and then the nickel layer is retouched. A thin layer of chrome on the outermost layer of remineralization can increase the tolerance and have a surface decorative function; generally, the thickness of the aluminum alloy plating layer is 3 μm of the bottom nickel layer, 7 μπι of the copper plating layer, 30 μ of the anti-corrosive nickel layer and Surface chrome plating. In order to confirm the effect of bismuth treatment and electric ore layer, and observe it with Cambridge Instrument S-360 scanning electron microscope (SEM) and analyze the surface of the test piece by GDS (Glimm Discharge Stectrometer) spectrometer, observe the surface composition of the casting. The relationship between change and depth. In order to confirm the adhesion between the surface of the substrate and the coating, after the casting is completed, the electroplated aluminum alloy castings are heated in a hot air circulation furnace according to the JISH8504 electric ore quality specification, and then rapidly quenched until after a period of time. Quenched into the water. The inspection temperature specified by aluminum alloy is 2〇〇°C, because 1247826 is set to be 2〇〇t for quenching and comparison, and the test holding time of the two sets of heating boots and boots is 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 12 minutes of plating is tight.

Form, sweep (four) __ can be seen on the surface of the test strips like rugged, these low-lying recesses in the south and south are originally Shi Xi elements, the vacant holes left by the money carved. Observed by electron microscopy, the side of the test # initial job for the secret silk surface contains pits of different sizes, in the initial stage of zincate treatment, the surface of the aluminum and the word ion replacement and deposition, because the surface is not flat, so the surface is not flat, so The surface structure seen under the microscope, in addition to the deposition of zinc, has a few pitted pits (Fig. 7); as the time of application increases, zinc ions are reduced and continue to deposit, and the crystal grains of zinc gradually grow and will The pothole is filled (Figure 8). Using the GTS spectrometer, the etched test piece was analyzed to obtain a distribution curve of the amount, depth and depth of a test piece containing ^, Mg, and A1. As shown in Fig. 9, the composition of the lanthanum element was the lowest at the distance from the surface; The content of niobium is less than 2%, and then the niobium content increases with the increase of depth. After 10 nm from the surface, the niobium content no longer changes. The metallographic structure of the coating of the aluminum alloy casting after electroplating shows that the bottom surface of the nickel and the substrate is 15 1247826. There is a contact surface of the amber tree root as shown in Fig. 3. These tree-like contacts are due to the etching of the leaf surface. The vacancy left by the erosion of the ingredients provides a good adhesion between the coating and the substrate. In order to compare with the pre-treatment process of the present invention, the general key switch is also used to perform the key-bonding process using the previous processing method. As shown in FIG. 1, the key layer metallographic phase of the factory is the electro-mineral bond, and the bonding between the plating layer and the machine material is apparent. The surface is smoother and has a lot of crucible residue. 'The smoothness of the joint surface will reduce the _ force, and the presence of the joint surface (4) will form the beginning of the mineral layer damage flaking. The electroplated Ming alloy castings are made separately using a hot air circulation furnace. c, 25 (rc, 30 (TC heating temperature, with Q. 5 hours, 丨 hours, 2 hours and 4 hours of heating time after the quenching experiment, the results shown in Figure 1 。. Under 2GG ° C heating The test piece is produced within 2 hours and the silk bubble is generated. There will be a small number of tiny gas newborns in the 4 shouts, but not so. The right temperature is increased to 25〇t, and the test piece still has no bubbles after 2 hours of heating. The phenomenon occurs, but after 4 hours of heating, the small bubbles inside the ship are heated and expanded to produce pressure on the forged layer to the outer ship. _ Some money is generated. If it is heated to °C for quenching experiment' After 2 hours, there has been a small _ generation, and after 4 hours of heating, the hydrogen which is not discharged in some parts is subjected to high thermal expansion to generate large bubbles for the expansion of the plating layer. [Industrial Applicability] The present invention can be extremely expensive The needle scales are mixed with the money on the surface of the production surface. The surface of the casting is removed from the oxide film of Al2〇3 or MgAl204, and the surface of the μ is de-alloyed by the etching of the solution of the 3, I247826 Ήρ, H2s〇4 solution. And hole formation, then add a mixture of potassium hydride and isopropanol The liquid is etched to make the eutectic ruthenium structure deeper, resulting in deeper holes on the surface of the casting to improve the adhesion between the surface of the aluminum substrate and the plating layer in the electroplating process; the manufacturing method in the invention can be intermittently produced and continuously Production and mass production of aluminum alloy casting electroplating process.
