The invention discloses a double-layer chemical
nickel plating solution and process for improving
corrosion resistance of a
magnesium-containing aluminum
alloy. The
nickel plating solution comprises a neutral
fluorine-containing chemical
nickel plating solution which comprises the following components:
sodium hypophosphite, basic
nickel carbonate,
ammonium citrate,
lactic acid,
ammonium acetate,
ammonium bifluoride and the balance of water. The double-layer chemical nickel plating process comprises the following steps: 1) performing
zinc dipping treatment on the
magnesium-containing aluminum
alloy twice; 2) performing neutral
fluorine-containing chemical nickel plating treatment on the aluminum
alloy after performing the
zinc dipping treatment twice; and 3) performing high-
phosphorus chemical nickel plating treatment on the aluminum alloy after the treatment in the previous step. According to the process disclosed by the invention, the
zinc dipping treatment is firstly performed on the
magnesium-containing aluminum alloy twice, the neutral
fluorine-containing chemical nickel plating treatment and the high-
phosphorus chemical nickel plating treatment are further performed, a
salt spray test is performed on a workpiece after the treatment for 24-28h, and the results show that no
rust points appear on the surface of the workpiece and the
corrosion resistance is very good; furthermore, the phenomenon of
decomposition of the plating solution is avoided in the nickel plating process; and in addition, after double-layer nickel plating treatment, a plated layer has relatively
strong binding force with a matrix of the workpiece.
