Problems solved by technology

The direct electroless nickel plating method adopts direct electroless plating of nickel sulfate solution, which has the characteristics of simple process and low cost, but the coating bonding force of this method is poor, and a large amount of hexavalent chromium in the plating solution brings great harm to the environment. On this basis, a galvanizing-copper plating-nickel plating method has been developed. Although this method has improved the bonding force of the nickel plating layer, it still has the following technical defects:
[0004] 1. The bonding strength of the coating needs to be improved, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of the national military standard;
[0005] 2. The nickel-plated layer on the surface has large unit cells, high porosity, and poor salt spray corrosion resistance, which is difficult to meet the requirements of the national military standard;
[0006] 3. The plating solution uses a large amount of fluorine salt and cyanide, which seriously endangers the environment;
[0007] 4. The process is complicated and the cost is high
