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.
