The invention discloses new technology for plating golden yellow on an automotive hub, which comprises the technical steps: galvanizing, pre-plating copper, brightly plating copper, plating nickel, plating golden yellow, and the like. The chemical composition formula contained in each L of plating solution is that: galvanizing solution comprises 220 to 240g of potassium chloride, 40 to 55g of zinc chloride, 30 to 35g of boric acid, and 15 to 25ml of brightener; copper pre-plating solution comprises 70 to 85g of copper phosphate, 280 to 350g of phosphor copper potassium, 4 to 6ml of ammonia water, and 3 to 5ml of brightener; the bright copper plating solution comprises 200 to 220g of copper sulfate, 70 to 90g of sulfuric acid, 0.06 to 0.08g of chloride ion, and 4 to 8ml of brightener; nickel plating solution comprises 260 to 300g of nickel sulfate, 30 to 50g of nickel chloride, 30 to 40g of boric acid, 0.6 to 1ml of brightener, 8 to 12ml of softening agent, and 2 to 4ml of wetting agent; and golden yellow plating solution comprises 120 to 140g of imitation gold salt and 2 to 4ml of ammonia water. After the plating, water washing and drying are performed, and a polyurethane paint is sprayed on the surface of the automotive hub. The new technology for plating golden yellow on the automotive hub radically eliminates the damage and environmental pollution of sodium cyanide and chromic anhydride to human bodies; the plated golden yellow automotive hub is luxurious and attractive, has strong corrosion resistance, and is suitable for high-class automotive assembly.
