Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, aluminum alloy has low hardness and poor wear resistance, and the surface hardness and wear resistance can be greatly improved after electroless nickel plating.
Plating on aluminum alloys is much more difficult and complicated than plating on metal materials such as steel and copper. Due to its lively nature, the surface easily reacts with oxygen in the air to form an oxide film. The existence of this oxide film hinders At the same time, the electrode potential of aluminum is very negative, and it can undergo substitution reactions with various metal ions when immersed in the plating solution, forming a contact coating on the aluminum, reducing the bonding strength between the coating and the aluminum substrate
At present, the pretreatment process of aluminum alloy electroless plating is relatively complicated. Generally, copper or nickel flash plating is used after immersion in zinc or tin. The process is relatively long, and there are many parameters that need to be controlled in the process.

Abstract

The invention relates to the relevant field of nickel plating methods, in particular to a nickel plating process for a surface of an aluminum alloy. In the first aspect, the nickel plating process forthe surface of the aluminum alloy is provided, and sequentially comprises the steps: oil removal, silicon removal, first-time deposition of zinc and nickel, second-time deposition of the zinc and thenickel, alkaline nickel plating, acid nickel plating, hole sealing and drying. Through the method that the zinc and the nickel are deposited twice, then alkaline and acid nickel plating is conducted,and finally hole sealing and drying are conducted, nickel plating is conducted on the surface of the aluminum alloy, in the process of the plating process, binding force between a plated layer and analuminum material is increased, the good protection effect on zinc-nickel plating is achieved, an adopted reagent is prevented from corroding the plated layer, meanwhile skip plating of fine sand holes can be prevented, plated layers of local positions can also be prevented from falling off, then the magnetic conductivity is reduced through a specific acid nickel plating solution, and the flatness and smoothness of the plated layer are improved.
