Problems solved by technology

However, in this process, the plating solution during cyanide copper plating contains a large amount of cyanides such as CuCN, KCN, NaCN, etc., which is highly toxic, seriously pollutes the environment, and post-processing is troublesome; and it is not suitable for alloys with high Al content
The method of direct electroless Ni-P plating has a simple process and does not contain cyanide in the plating solution, which has gradually attracted attention, but the bonding force between the coating and the substrate is not as high as that of the cyanide copper-plating base plate.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of plating Nickel with magnalium alloy without cyanogen and the plating technique. The direction for the plating solution is: 20 to 80g.dm-3 of copper charred phosphate; one or several of the 60 to 320g.dm-3 of sodium charred phosphate or Potassium charred phosphate or 60 to 250g.dm-3 of sodium citric acid, 5 to 20g.dm-3 of Potassium sodium tartaric acid, 60 to 250g.dm-3 of HEDP and 60 to 250g.dm-3 of amine ethylene; one or several of the 5 to 20g.dm-3 of hydrogen amine di-fluorin or 5 to20 g.dm-3 sodium fluoride or 5 to 20g.dm-3 of Potassium fluoride or 5 to 20g.dm-3 of lithium fluoride. The plating solution chooses the nickel sulfate or alkali type nickel carbonate or nickel acetic acid as the main salt and adds the reducing agent, combination agent and stabilization agent. The plating technique adopts the acid plating copper-plating three nickel-plating chromium. The invention has little pollution to the environment, high binding power and erosion-proof property.
