The invention discloses a method for improving the
corrosion resistance of
nickel-aluminum
bronze. The method comprises the following steps: firstly,
grinding and
polishing the surface of
nickel-aluminum
bronze,
degreasing,
pickling and activating, placing the treated nickle-aluminum
bronze in a
nickel-
chromium plating solution of which the temperature is 30-40 DEG C and the pH value is 2.0-3.5 and
electroplating the treated nickel-aluminum bronze serving as a
cathode to obtain a crack-free Ni-Cr
alloy coating having a
smooth surface on the surface of the nickel-aluminum bronze. The
chromium ion used in the plating solution is trivalent; the
coating stress is released by virtue of a
pulse plating process and the surface cracks are eliminated; the surface of the
coating is smooth and clean, free of defects such as cracks and pinholes; good
adhesion force is kept between the coating and the substrate, the surface
hardness can reach 440-630HV, which is 2-3 times that of the substrate material; and the coating has excellent
corrosion resistance and is used as a protective coating to isolate nickel-aluminum bronze from a corrosive medium so that the
corrosion resistance is greatly improved. The method has the characteristics of low cost, no
toxicity and the like and is simple and feasible and is a preparation method which integrates economy, high efficiency and high quality into a whole.
