Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, aluminum alloy has low hardness and poor wear resistance, and the surface hardness and wear resistance can be greatly improved after electroless nickel plating.
Plating on aluminum alloys is much more difficult and complicated than plating on metal materials such as steel and copper. Due to its lively nature, the surface easily reacts with oxygen in the air to form an oxide film. The existence of this oxide film hinders At the same time, the electrode potential of aluminum is very negative, and it can undergo substitution reactions with various metal ions when immersed in the plating solution, forming a contact coating on the aluminum, reducing the bonding strength between the coating and the aluminum substrate
At present, the pretreatment process of aluminum alloy electroless plating is relatively complicated. Generally, copper or nickel flash plating is used after immersion in zinc or tin. The process is relatively long, and there are many parameters that need to be controlled in the process.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the related field of nickel plating methods, and more particularly, the present invention provides a nickel plating process on the surface of an aluminum alloy. A first aspect of the present invention provides a nickel plating process on the surface of an aluminum alloy, which sequentially includes the steps of: oil removal, silicon removal, first zinc-nickel deposition, second zinc-nickel deposition, alkaline nickel plating, acid nickel plating, Sealing and drying. The present invention adopts the method of twice immersing zinc nickel, then performing alkaline acid nickel plating, and finally performing sealing and drying to realize the nickel plating on the surface of the aluminum alloy. The bonding force has a good protective effect on zinc-nickel plating. The reagents used in placement can cause corrosion to the plating layer. At the same time, it can prevent small sand holes from leaking plating, and can also prevent local plating from falling off. The specific acid nickel plating solution is used to reduce the magnetic field. Conductivity, improve the flatness and smoothness of the coating.

Background technique [0002] Aluminum alloys have low density, good corrosion resistance, high fatigue resistance, and high specific strength and specific stiffness, which are comparable to structural steel and even ultra-high-strength steel. They are widely used in the preparation of mobile phone components to reduce the structure of mobile phones weight. [0003] However, the aluminum alloy has low hardness and poor wear resistance, and the surface hardness and wear resistance can be greatly improved after electroless nickel plating. Coating on aluminum alloy is much more difficult and complicated than coating on metal materials such as steel and copper. Due to its active nature, the surface is easily reacted with oxygen in the air to form an oxide film. The...
