Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for electroplating copper. Specifically relates to a method for direct cyanide-free electroplating copper on zinc alloy die castings, which can be used for direct copper preplating of zinc alloy die castings and thickening of electroplated copper layers. Background technique [0002] Zinc alloy has good casting properties and is an excellent casting alloy. It is more superior when used to cast workpieces with complex shapes and high precision. Zinc alloy die castings are increasingly used in automobiles, electronics, aerospace and other fields. However, cast zinc alloys are not wear-resistant and are easily corroded by humid atmospheres. In order to overcome the above shortcomings, zinc alloys are usually electroplated with single metals or alloys to improve their performance. The electroplated copper coating has the advantages of compactness, brightness, and good ductility. It is generally used as the bottom layer of...
