The invention relates to the technical field of
magnesium alloy surface treatment, in particular to a bright
pickling additive for
magnesium alloy containing heavy
metal elements and a preparation method of the bright
pickling additive. Comprising the following components: 5 g / L of
potassium fluotitanate, 10 g / L of
sodium metavanadate, 50-70 g / L of
ammonium bifluoride, 30-50 g / L of
sodium metasilicate nonahydrate, 100-200 mL / L of
lactic acid and 50-70 mL / L of
phytic acid, by adding the
potassium fluotitanate, the
potassium fluotitanate is reduced into TiO2 when making contact with a
metal magnesium alloy matrix, so that the surface potential of a workpiece is balanced, the
polishing effect is achieved, and by adding the
ammonium bifluoride, the surface of the workpiece is not prone to being damaged. By adding
sodium metasilicate nonahydrate,
dirt formed on the surface of a
magnesium alloy workpiece due to precipitates formed by
metal ions such as Cu and Ag is reduced, and by adding
sodium metasilicate nonahydrate, generation of heavy metal cation precipitates is reduced, so that dust on the working surface is reduced. The
cleaning agent can be matched with low-concentration inorganic strong acid and
organic acid to perform bright cleaning on
magnesium alloy surfaces containing various
heavy metals in different
processing states under the environment operation from low temperature to medium temperature.
