The invention discloses a satin
nickel solution and a
nickel plating process thereof. The formula of the satin
nickel solution comprises the following components in proportion by weight and volume: 280g / L-380g / L of nickel
sulfate, 42g / L-58g / L of nickel
chloride, 31g / L-38g / L of
boric acid, 3ml / L-7ml / L of a brightener, 8ml / L-15ml / L of a surfactant, 1ml / L-5ml / L of a
softening agent, 2ml / L-4ml / L of a walking agent, and 0.2g / L-10g / L of
water soluble fiber, wherein the length of the
water soluble fiber is 2mm-4mm. For guaranteeing the nickel plating effect of the satin nickel solution, the nickel plating process comprises the following steps: (1)
polishing the surface of the to-be-nickel plated material by virtue of 500-1000-mesh sand, so as to increase the specific surface area and roughness of the surface of the to-be-nickel plated material and the
adhesive force of a satin nickel plated layer; and (2) carrying out surface nickel plating by taking the to-be-nickel plated material as a
cathode and a
nickel plate as an
anode, so as to guarantee the use effects of the brightener, the surfactant, the
softening agent, the walking agent and the
water soluble fiber, wherein the temperature is controlled at 42-48 DEG C, the pH value is controlled at 3-5, and the
electric current density is controlled at 3A / dm<2>-8A / dm<2>.
