The invention relates to alkaline
cyanide-free silver plating
electroplating liquid and a silver plating method. The
electroplating liquid is composed of the following components including 20 g / L-50 g / L of
silver nitrate, 40 g / L-100 g / L of 5,5-dimethyl
hydantoin, 70 g / L-100 g / L of
potassium pyrophosphate, 0.8 g / L-1.2 g / L of 3,3'-dithiobis-1-propanesulfonic acid disodium salt, 0.10 g / L-0.15 g / L of
benzotriazole, 10 mg / L-15 mg / L of N,N'-bi-oleoyl-
Ethylenediamine-
Sodium Diethyl
sulfonate, 0.10 g / L-0.30 g / L of
polyethylene glycol and the
balance water, wherein due to a pH adjusting agent, the pH value of the
system ranges from 8 to 12. By means of the alkaline
cyanide-free silver plating
electroplating liquid, all the components are matched and work collaboratively, stability is good, the
copper replacement resisting performance is high, and the scattering capability of the plating liquid is high;
crystal grains of a silver plated layer are fine, the
crystal grains are densely and neatly arranged, the surface is flat and bright, glossiness is good, and the color changing resisting capability is high; and the
hardness of the plated layer is high, the combining force with a base body is high, and the alkaline
cyanide-free silver plating electroplating liquid is suitable for application and popularization.
