Abstract

The present invention discloses a continuous chemical powder-plating method and apparatus. The apparatus incldues the first container with suspension comprising powder and solution L1, mechanical stirrer or ultrasonic generator inside the first container, the second container with solution L2, with the solution L1 and solution L2 being main salt and reducing liquid separately or plating liquid and pH regulating liquid separately. The first container and the second container are connected to a mixing chamber via pipe with separate metering pump, the mixing chamber is connected via pipe to coil pipe in the ultrasonic generator, and the coil pipe is also connected to one third container. After the solution L1 and the solution L2 are mixed in certain ratio, the mixed solution is set in the coil pipe for chemical plating reaction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a continuous powder electroless plating method and a device thereof. Background technique [0002] Electroless plating is a chemical treatment method that uses a suitable reducing agent to selectively reduce and precipitate metal ions in the solution on the catalytically active surface to form a metal coating. Electroless plating on the surface of the powder can obtain composite powders such as metal-coated ceramics, polymers, and metals, which are widely used in the fields of conductive paste, electrical contact materials, stealth materials, ceramic knives, and thermal spray powders. [0003] The uniformity of metal coating is a key problem in powder electroless plating. The method of low-temperature ultrasonic electroless plating is adopted to better solve the problem of coating uniformity of powder, especially ultra-fine powder electroless plating (patent application number 01116714.9). However, t...
