Abstract

The invention discloses a cyanide-free electrosilvering solution applicable to high-speed electroplating and an electroplating process, which belong to the technical field of electrosilvering. The electrosilvering solution is prepared from hydantoin derivatives, an auxiliary complexing agent, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, silver nitrate and ultrapure water. The electrosilvering process comprises the following steps of: firstly, pre-plating an intermediate silver-plating layer and performing quick silver-plating; secondly, after the electroplating, taking a sample out of the electroplating solution, cleaning the surface of the sample through distilled water, and performing cold air drying. The obtained electroplating solution of an electrosilvering system does not contain extremely toxic substances and is extremely high in stability; the phenomena of precipitation, color changing and the like of a newly-prepared plating solution and a plating solution subjected to repeated constant-current plating, which are placed for over two months, are avoided; the plating effect of all plating solutions, which are placed for a long time or work for a long time, is the same as that of a newly prepared plating solution; a silver-plating layer with good appearance can be obtained in a wide temperature range and a wide current density range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electroplating silver, and relates to a cyanide-free electroplating silver plating solution and an electroplating process that can be used for high-speed electroplating. Background technique [0002] For a long time, metallic silver has been widely used in various industries due to its excellent appearance, chemical stability, good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and brazing performance. However, due to limited resources, the cost of using metallic silver is relatively high. Therefore, in general, a layer of metallic silver is plated on the surface of the workpiece to be treated by methods such as electroplating, chemical plating, physical vapor deposition, and chemical vapor deposition. , which not only makes it have the excellent characteristics of silver, but also can significantly reduce the cost, among which electroplating is an efficient, simple and low-cost method of surface silver pl...
