Abstract

The invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy surface treatment, in particular to a simple and easy-to-operate aluminum alloy surface chemical nickel plating pretreatment process. An activating treatment solution comprises 10-30 g/L of phosphate, 20-40 g/L of carbonate, 1-5 g/L of organic acid and salt thereof, 1-5 g/L of stabilizers, 1-5 g/L of dispersing agents, 1-10 g/L of corrosion inhibitors, 1-4 g/L of surfactants, and the balance of water. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, an aluminum alloy base material subjected to oil removal is soaked in the activating treatment solution for 1-10 minutes, oxide skin, dirt and the like on the surface of an aluminum alloy are removed at normal temperature, and the surface roughness and the surface activity of the base material are increased; and then the base material is put in a chemical plating solution for plating, the binding force of an obtained nickel-phosphorus coating and a matrix is less than or equal to grade 1, and the binding force of the nickel-phosphorus coating is equivalent to that of a nickel-plated layer obtained by a traditional secondary zinc immersion process. The technology is very simple in process, convenient to operate, low in cost and less in environmental pollution compared with a traditional technology, and is a novel more environment-friendly surface treatment method.
