2,800,440 Patented July 23, 1957 ELECTRODEPOSITION OF NICKEL Henry Brown, Huntington Woods, Mich., assignor to The Udylite Research Corporation, Detroit, M1ch., a corporation of Michigan No Drawing. Application October 4, 1955,
Serial No. 538,527
16 Claims. (Cl. 20449) Thisinventionrelates to the electrodeposition of finegrained lustrous nickel plate from aqueous acidic nickel plating baths. More particularly it relates to the use of certain unsaturated sulfonic acids, particularly aliphatic sulfonic acid (or their sulfonates), in aqueous acidic nickel baths of the Watts type or its modifications, to obtain fine-grained, bright nickel plate.
We have found that certain alkyne and alkynoxy sulfonic acids of three to fourteen carbon atoms inclusive, carrying the unsaturated triple bonded carbon to carbon linkage (CEC-), as exemplified in Table I, when dissolved in the Watts type nickel bath or modifications thereof, make possible fine-grained plate of good luster. Depending on the position of the unsaturated linkage with respect to the sulfonic group, and depending also on the position, amount and nature of other groups present, various degrees of luster, brightness and ductility can be obtained. For example, propargyl sulfonic acid (2-propyne-l-sulfonic acid, HCECCH2S03H) makes possible the most brilliant and lustrous plate when used alone in the bath at a concentration of about 0.5 to 2 grams per liter, the optimum concentration depending on the temperature of the bath, the pH and on the degree of agitation of the solution or the article being plated (the more rapid the agitation, the smaller the concentration necessary for best results). On the other hand the symmetrical disulfonic acid, 2-butyne-1,4-disulfonic acid requires about to grams per liter to cause good brightness, though the brightness does not equal that obtained with the propargyl sulfonic acid either from the standpoint of leveling or brilliance. is more ductile with the disulfonic compound.
The 2-propyne-l-sulfonic acid (HCECCH2SO3H) differs from 2-propene-1-sulfonic acid (i. e., allyl sulfonic acid, CH2=CHCH2SO3H), in that the former makes possible more brilliant plate, but plate that is less ductile than that obtained with Z-propene-l-sulfonic acid. In this respect, the plate obtained with 2-butyne-l,4-disulfonic acid is more similar in brightness and ductility to that obtained with Z-propene-l-sulfonic acid, though the latter is more effective. liter of the latter gives similar plate in brightness and ductility to plate obtained when .10 grams per liter of 2-butyne-l,4-disulfonic acid is used in the Watts type bath, and grams per liter in the high chloride type nickel baths. N-allyl quinaldinium bromide or N-ethyl isoquinolinium bromide and similar compounds are added to the baths, then the bright plate obtained with the butyne disulfonic acid is of improved brilliance similar to the improved brilliance obtained with the allyl sulfonic acid, the comparisons being made in similar baths at similar temperatures and pH values (for example, pH=2.5 to 4.5).
The propargyl sulfonic acid (HCECCH2SO3H) acts very differently in the nickel baths than does propargyl alcohol (HCECCH2OH). The latter does not pro- Also, if 0.01 to 0.03 gram per liter of' However, the plate For example, 2 to 4 grams per duce fully bright plate alone in the bath and is far more sensitive to causing'rnis-plating (skipped areas free from plate), and it is very volatile and toxic to breathe, whereas, propargyl sulfonic acid, and its nickel salt are not appreciably volatile.
The propynoxy ethane sulfonic acid is different from propargyl alcohol to an exceptional degree in its effect in the bath in that it is very much less critical relative to causing mis-plating or skipped plate, poor adhesion, and brittleness when used with the compounds of Table II even with as low a concentration as 0.1 gram per liter of o-benzoyl sulfimide. Additionally it is non-volatile from the baths. The 2-butyne-1,4-disulfonic acid used alone gives a completely bright plate only at a concentration of 5 to 10 grams per liter in a Watts type bath (high nickel sulfate content) whereas Z-butyne 1,4 diol gives an exceedingly brittle darkish, easily stained and finger-marked, cloudy bright plate when used alone above a concentration of 1 to 3 grams per liter. In a high chloride nickel the 2-butyne-1,4-disulfonic acid alone gives a completely bright plate at a concentration of 10 to 20 grams per liter, where 2-butyne-l,4-diol gives darkish, easily stained and exceedingly brittle plate when used alone in any concentration above about 0.3 gram per liter.
The preferred alkyne sulfonic acids of this invention are the propynoxy ethane sulfonic acids, the propynoxy propane sulfonic acids, and their methyl substituted derivatives such as HCEC-C(CH3)2OC2H4SO3H and HCECCH(CH3)OC2H4SO3H- If the sulfonic group is more than two carbon atoms away from the unsaturated triple bonded carbon to carbon linkage (-CEC), there is less eifect from the sulfonic group in that less sulfur is added to the nickel plate and consequently the plates are more cloudy when these compounds are used alone, though there is still the decrease in criticalness with respect to the concentration that can be used in the baths without obtaining mis-plating, poor adhesion, and excessive brittleness. These unsaturated alkyne sulfonic compounds, especially those with the intermediate oxygen atom linkage (O) between the unsaturated group and the methane, ethane, propane, or butane sulfonic group (the alkynoxy sulfonic acids), can be used with increased effectiveness from the standpoint of cloud-free brightness, when used in conjunction with at least one organic sulfonic acid or organic sulfoncompound as exemplified in Table II, especially in combinations such as allyl sulfonic acid (2-propene-l-sulfonic acid) or a butene sulfonic acid together with at least one of the benzene sulfonic acids, sulfonamides and sulfonimides, such as benzene mono-, di-, and tri-sulfonic acids, and the fiuoro-, ichloro, bromo, iodo-, methyl and aldehydo (formyl) benzene sulfonic acids, and naphthalene sulfonic acids, benzene sulfonamide, toluene sulfonamides, di-benzene sulfonamides, di-toluene sulfonarnides, o-benzoyl sulfimide, etc. These combinations of organic sulfon-compounds yield very bright ductile plate, and have a minimum of sensitivity to harmful effects (poor adhesion, excessive brittleness, cloudiness and misplating) from excess quantities of these compounds being accidentally added to the baths. Of the compounds set forth in Table II a preferred group consists of the benzene, diphenyl and naphthalene sulfonic acids, benzene sulfonamides and su'lfonimides and di-benzene sulfonamides and sulfonimides and the halogen, methyl, aldehydo (formyl) derivatives thereof and beta unsaturated bubbles to the cathode during plating,
alkene sulfonic acids having 4-2 carbon atoms.
To prevent pitting from the adhesion of hydrogen gas j; mechanical solution agitation. When air agitation is employed, the use of about 0.3 to 1.5 grams per liter of allyl sulfonic acid for prevention of hydrogen gas pitting of the cathode, without the use of a surface-active agent, is very advantageous, not only from the standpoint of its de-polarizing action but also because it greatly improves the brilliance of the plate, with air agitation. The faster the agitation of the solution or of the cathode, the less the concentration of the compounds of Table I that need to be employed to obtain high brilliance, also the brighter the plate at a given ductility. At the higher temperatures of the bath, the less the concentration of the compounds of Table I that need to be used to obtain bright plate at rapid rates of solution agitation.
In Table I and Table II below there are listed various examples to illustrate preferred. combinations of addition agents (all organic sulfon-compounds) to give bright ductile nickel plate over a wide cathode current density range. The lower concentrations .of addition agents are suitable to be used with the more rapid solution agitation and the higher bath temperatures.

Instead of nickel baths made up predominantly of nickel sulfate and nickel chloride or mixtures of these salts, nickel fiuoborate and nickel sulfamate may be used in whole or in part. Instead of 'boric acid, other bulfers such as nickel formate, succinate, citrate, etc.,-may be used, though in general boric acid is the preferred buffer as it allows the best leveling action. The best pH values for the baths are about 2.5 to 5.0, though pH values from 2 to 6 at least, may be used. The bath temperatures may be from room to boiling, though in general the most convenient temperatures of operation are from about 120 F. to 170 F. Ammonium ions make the plate less ductile, but sodium, lithium, potassium -or magnesium ions are not nearly as critical. The bromide ion may be present in high concentrations, but not the iodide ion as the latter in excessive concentration may cause a loss of cathode efficiency (from the free iodine formed by anodic oxidation of the iodide ion). Ferrous salts or co'balt salts or mixtures up to at least a concentration of forty grams per liter as sulphates, chlorides or fiuoborates may be present in the nickel bath, and yield nickel alloy plates containing as low as about sixty percent nickel and still the plate obtained is bright and ductile.
The sulfonic acid compounds may be added to the nickel baths as such or as the sulfonate salts, such as the nickel, cobalt, sodium, potassium, magnesium, ferrous, etc., salts. In the baths they are present predominantly as ionized nickel salts and acids.
The preferred alkyne and alkynoxy sulfonic acids of this invention are those with small alkane sulfonic groups such as CH2SO3H, C2H4SO3H, -C3HeSO3H, both from the standpoint of economy in preparation and efficacy in the nickel baths. If the alkane'radical of the alkane sulfonic group is larger than -C4H8, then weak surface-active properties (anionic surface-active agent) start to manifest themselves, and the compounds are not as effective as brightening agents as with the smaller chain members. Y
With the use of propynoxy ethane sulfonic acid, 0.05 to 0.1 gram/liter (sodium or nickel salt) together with allyl sulfonic acid (sodium or nickel salt) 0.5 to 1 gram/liter and 0.1 to l gram/liter of o-benzoyl sulfimide and 4 to 5 grams/liter of benzene sulfonic acid in the Watts type nickel bath, a minimum of pitting is encountered without the use of surface-active agents and without the use of strong stirring or agitation of the solution. In these baths all the organic addition agents are strongly anionic and the tendency for pitting is, therefore, minimized, the tendency for brittleness is minimized, and the tendency for cloudy plate from break-down products is minimized.
