The invention discloses a
magnesium and
magnesium alloy surface silver-plating method, and relates to the technical field of
magnesium alloy silver plating. According to the method, eight steps including shot blasting, oil removal, excitation, residual film removal,
zinc immersion,
copper plating, silver plating in advance and silver plating are adopted, good silver plating
layers are obtained after magnesium and
magnesium alloy surfaces are specially treated, according to magnesium and
magnesium alloy silver pieces processed through operation of the process, the silver plating layer bonding force is checked by
thermal shock tests, the plating
layers are free of peeling, blistering and falling, parts obtained after thermal shocks are subject to bonding force tests according to a QJ479-90 marking method, and the plating
layers are free of peeling, blistering and falling. Through trials and errors, all silver plating layers are good in bonding force and free of peeling, blistering and falling; through an QJ458-88 anti-sulphur test, the silver plating layers are not subject to aftertreatment, the anti-sulphur performance is larger than 1 min, and the anti-sulphur performance of partssubject to aftertreatment after silver plating is larger than 5 min. The
electroplating magnesium and
magnesium alloy silver-plating parts are good in bonding force, high in anti-sulphur performance and resistant to
corrosion, the plating layers are free of peeling, blistering and falling, and the method is worthy of application and popularization on industry.
