Problems solved by technology

However, there are also some problems in trivalent chromium plating, mainly due to its low tolerance to impurities. For example, when the cumulative concentration of metal ions such as zinc, copper and nickel in the trivalent chromium plating bath reaches 10-100ppm, the chromium plating layer The quality will drop, resulting in poor stability and difficult to put into actual production application
The hexavalent chromium ions produced at the a...

Embodiment 1

[0023] Embodiment 1 solution preparation

[0024] Using potassium chromium sulfate 230g / L, buffering agent 120g / L, complexing agent 30g / L, catalyst 20g / L, conductive salt 50g / L, prepare the solution according to the following method.

[0025] First, put two-thirds of the deionized water into the container and heat it to above 60°C, put the main salt into the deionized water while stirring, then put in the complexing agent, catalyst and buffer in turn, and wait until all are dissolved , reserved for later use; . Put less than one-third of the measured deionized water into another container and heat it above 60°C. Put the buffer into the deionized water in this container while stirring. After it is completely dissolved, put it in the second container. Pour the solution into the first container, heat it to about 95°C, and keep it warm for more than 2 hours. When the temperature naturally cools down to the process temperature, use deionized water to make up the volume, and the pr...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an electroplating method for electroplating a trivalent hard chromium plating layer on iron and steel, wherein a DSA anode and a sulfuric acid system trivalent chromium solution are adopted, a temperature of about 50 DEG C and current density of 35-65 A/dm<2> are adopted, a soft starting process that change of current and a tank voltage is controlled during an electroplating process is adopted, and the pH value is maintained in the specified range (the pH value is 0.9-2.1) to obtain the trivalent chromium plating layer with a thickness of more than 80 mum, wherein the plating layer hardness achieves more than HV870, the current efficiency is more than 35%, the plating coating rate can be up to 2 mum/min, and the plating layer bonding force passes through the thermal shock test (200 DEG C heating, and salt water quenching). According to the present invention, the process method that the trivalent hard chromium electroplating replaces the sexvalent hard chromium electroplating with a characteristic of serious environment pollution is provided, and problems that the thick plating layer can not be obtained through the existing trivalent chromium electroplating technology, the plating layer and substrate bonding force is poor, and the like are solved.

Description

[0001] Technical field The present invention relates to the technology of electroplating hard chromium with trivalent chromium sulfate as main salt technical background [0002] Hexavalent chromium plating is one of the most widely used plating types in the electroplating industry. It has a large quantity and a wide range. Decorative chromium is plated on steel, aluminum, plastic, copper alloy and zinc-based alloy die castings. Functional electroplating (hard chrome) Plating workpieces include hydraulic cylinders and plungers, crankshafts, printing plates / rollers, internal combustion engine pistons, plastic molds, and fabrication of fiberglass workpieces, cutting tools, etc. Also used to repair worn workpieces such as rollers, molds, cylinders and crankshafts repair. Hexavalent chromium coating has good hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and decorative properties. It is not only used for decorative coatings, but also widely used for functional coatings and repair ...
