Problems solved by technology

So far, the protection of magnesium alloys by a single protection process either has fatal flaws, or the improvement of the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of magnesium alloys is relatively limited.
Using the existing nickel plating process for magnesium alloys, the electroless nickel plating layer is an amorphous protective layer, which has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., but is prepared directly on the surface of magnesium alloys. When coating, it is easy to cause galvanic corrosion of the substrate and the coating
Moreover, SO 4 2- , Cl - Corrosion of magnesium alloy substrate

Abstract

The invention provides a nickel plating process method of magnesium alloy, which comprises the following steps: (1) plasma electrolytic oxidation for the magnesium alloy after being pre-treated; (2) activation and reduction, in which 0.5-1g / L of PdCl2, 1-3g / L of NaCl and 4-6g / L of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) are prepared into an activation solution, heated up to 30 DEG C 35 DEG Cbelow zero and activated for 5 to 10 minutes; cleaning with deionized water after the completion of activation; and then carrying out the reduction treatment with 2.5wt%-3wt% of sodium hypophosphite solution and obtaining the catalytic center of electroless nickel plating; and (3) surface nickel plating. The invention adopts the plasma electrolytic oxidation process before electroless nickel plating so as to prevent the galvanic corrosion of a substrate and a coating; nickel acetate is used to prepare a plating solution of the electroless nickel plating, and the pH value of the solution is 6.2 to 6.5, so that the defects that SO4<2-> and Cl<-> cause corrosion to the magnesium alloy substrate when nickel sulfate and nickel chloride are used to prepare the plating solution in the ordinary electroless plating process can be overcome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surface treatment method for a magnesium alloy, in particular to a nickel plating process for a magnesium alloy. Background technique [0002] The density of magnesium is 1.74g / cm 3 , Magnesium alloy is the lightest among metal structural materials, its specific strength is higher than some high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, and it also has good castability, electric shielding, shock resistance and shock absorption, non-toxic and recyclable, etc. , known as "21st century green engineering metal". In order to reduce the energy consumption of automobiles and reduce exhaust emissions, it is an inevitable choice to replace steel components on automobiles with magnesium alloys. Magnesium alloys are receiving more and more attention in the automobile industry. Magnesium alloys have been applied to components such as intake manifolds and camshaft covers. Some experts believe that the magnesium alloy used in each car may reac...
