Problems solved by technology

The traditional cyanide-containing silver plating solution is highly toxic, seriously pollutes the environment, endangers the health of producers, and the cost of waste liquid treatment is high, so cyanide-free silver plating can be developed
However, when targeting certain substrates, especially copper substrates, the current cyanide-free silver plating solutions still have problems such as poor stability, poor dispersion ability, and weak bonding between the coating and the substrate.

Abstract

The invention discloses a cyanide-free bright silver plating solution and an electroplating method. The silver electroplating solution comprises 10-30 g/L of silver nitrate; 10 to 80 g/L of 2, 4-imidazolinedione; 5, 5-dimethyl hydantoin with a concentration of 40 to 100 g/L; 40-100 g/L of potassium carbonate; and 0.3-2 g/L of polyethylene glycol. According to the method, the specially designed cyanide-free silver plating solution is utilized, and the pulse current is adopted, so that the silver plating layer with excellent binding force and excellent plating layer surface performance is obtained on the copper substrate, especially the red copper substrate.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electroplating technology on a copper base. Background technique [0002] Electroplating is widely used in printed wiring boards, electronic components, instrumentation, aircraft, optical instruments, and communication equipment. The traditional cyanopide-plated solution has a highly toxic, severe contaminated environment, hazardizing the health of the producer, and the waste liquid treatment cost is high, and there is cyaninite. However, when certain substrates, especially for the copper base, there is still a problem with poor stability, poor dispersion, and weakness of the coating and substrate bonding force. Inventive content [0003] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a no-cyanopenia-free silver plating solution having a good stability and a good dispersion ability. [0004] The electroplated solutions provided in accordance with the present invention include: [0005] 10-30 g / L silver nitrate;...
