Definitions
- the electroless or chemical method for depositing metals permits the deposition of heavy coatings as opposed to simple replacement or immersion technique because the electrons necessary for reduction of the metal are supplied by a reducing agent which is in turn oxidized.
- a reducing agent which is in turn oxidized.
- hypophosphites are widely used as reducing agents in chemical plating processes.
- Among the objects of the invention is to provide an electroless method of depositing silver.
- This invention is based on the discovery that an entirely difierent system from any in common usage is effective to deposit silver from an aqueous solution thereof.
- an entirely difierent system from any in common usage is effective to deposit silver from an aqueous solution thereof.
- the bath of this invention therefore, comprises a potassium silver cyanide solution to which is added 0.1-30 g./l. of a soluble palladous salt (calculated as Pd).
- a soluble palladous salt (calculated as Pd).
- Suitable palladous salts include palladium P salt, (NH Pd(NO disodium palladium tetrachloride, Na PdCl palladous chloride and sulfate.
- Soluble silver cyanide 8 0. H0 Alkali salt of weak acid- 25 up to 200 Weak Acid 12 up to 100 Soluble palladous salt. 2 0. 01-30 Ammonium hydroxide pH 10 pH 8-10 Temperature 80 0. 50100 G.
- the weak acid salts as well as the acids, which, of course, exist in the bath as salts at the pH specified, are optional.
- Effective salts include, the organic acids such as acetic, propionic, citric, tartaric, etc., as well as the inorganic phosphorous acids.
- hydroxy polybasic acids salts such as citrates and the salts of polybasic amino acids such as ethylene di- Patented Apr. 21, 1964 amine tetraacetic acid are particularly desirable, apparently because of their complexing ability.
- a bath was made up as follows:
- a bath was made up similar to the bath in Example 1, except that disodium palladium tetrachloride was substituted for the diamino-dinitro palladium salt.
- a bath was made up to contain G./l. KAg(CN) 2 8.0 Palladium P salt 2.0
- a gold plated brass panel immersed in this bath received a deposit of 1.7 microns in 15 minutes at C.
- composition for chemically depositing silver an aqueous solution having a pH of 8-10 and comprising 0.530 g./1. of a soluble silver cyanide and 0.01 to 30 g./l. of a soluble palladous salt.
- composition for chemically depositing silver an aqueous solution containing G./l. Alkali silver cyanide (calc. as Ag) 0.5-30 Alkali salt of a weak acid Up to 300 Weak acid Up to Palladous salt (calc. as Pd) 0.01-30 Ammonia, sufiicient to provide a pH of 8 to 10.
- an aqueous solution containing G./l. Potassium silver cyanide About 4 Trialkali citrate About 25 Citric acid About 12 Palladous salt About 2 Ammonia, sufiicient to provide a pH of about 10.
- composition as claimed in claim 2 in which the palladous salt is (NH Pd(NO 5.
- the composition as claimed in claim 2 in which the palladous salt is disodium palladium tetrachloride.
- a process for depositing silver on a workpiece having a surface layer of metal comprising immersing the workpiece in an aqueous solution at a temperature of 50 to 100 C. containing 0.5-30 g./l. of a soluble silver cyanide in the presence of 0.01 to 30 g./l. of palladous ions until the desired amount of silver is deposited.
