Problems solved by technology

Wherein additive research is more, in addition also has some patent documents to have done report aspect cyanide-free silver-plated brightener, as U.S. Patent USP5302278, USP4925491, Japanese Patent JP2000192279-A etc., but the coating anti-tarnish ability that USP5302278 obtains is relatively poor; USP4925491 because There are many types of polishing components and wetting agents required, which makes it difficult to maintain the plating solution; and JP2000192279-A is not very ideal for brightening due to its low selectivity to metal salts
In addition, although the U.S. patent USP4155817 has a low cyanide ion concentration, the current density is too small to be practical
Although the speed of depositing silver in USP4428804 is very fast, the internal stress of the coating is relatively large because the two acidic complexing agents do not match each other

AgNO3,50-60g / L; sodium thiosulfate, 250-350g / L; potassium, 90-110g / L; K2SO4,20-30g / L; boracic acid, 25-35g / L; brightener,5m / L. Stir at 20-40deg.C for 10min. pH of silvering solution is 4.2-4.8. Mean impulse current density is 0.5-1ms. Duty ratio is 5-15%. Orientation of magnetic field is parallel with that of impulse current. Square ratio of positive and negative pole is bigger than 2.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cyanide-free silver plating process under the action of a magnetic field and a pulse current, belonging to the technical field of electrochemical silver plating. Background technique [0002] Silver plating was once mainly used for decorative purposes, but with the promotion and application of electroplating technology in electronic devices, semiconductors, and instruments, the amount of functional silver plating has soared. So far, cyanide silver plating is still the mainstream of industrial production in the silver plating industry at home and abroad. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, cyanide silver plating will be gradually eliminated. The research on cyanide-free silver plating has been carried out for more than ten years. Although some achievements have been made, the technology is still immature. Throughout the history of cyanide-free silver plating, people mainly carry out research work from...
