Embodiment Construction

[0013]A trivalent chromium-based electroplating solution in accordance with the present invention contains a trivalent chromium salt, a bivalent nickel salt, a complex agent, a conductive salt, a buffering agent and an additive for electroplating a chromium-nickel deposit on a metal component. By using the lowly toxic trivalent chromium ion to substitute highly toxic hexavalent chromium ion, the present trivalent chromium-based electroplating solution has much less pollution and high current efficiency to obtain chromium-nickel deposits with different ratios of chromium and nickel concentrations. Moreover, the electroplating can be conducted at room temperature.

[0014]The trivalent chromium-based solution comprises: 0.1-1.2 mole / L of the trivalent salt that is selected from the group consisting of chromium chloride, chromium sulfate, or a hydrate of each forgoing salts; 0.1-0.8 mole / L of the bivalent salt that is selected from the group consisting of nickel chloride, nickel sulfate, ...

Abstract

A trivalent chromium-based electroplating solution in accordance with the present invention a trivalent chromium salt, a bivalent nickel salt, a complex agent, a conductive salt, a buffering agent and an additive for electroplating a chromium-nickel alloy deposit on a component. By using the lowly toxic trivalent chromium to substitute highly toxic hexavalent chromium, an electroplating procedure with the present trivalent chromium-based electroplating solution has less pollution and high current efficiency to allow the electroplating performing at the room temperature.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an electroplating technology. It provides a lowly toxic trivalent-chromium based electroplating solution which is used for obtaining a chromium-nickel alloy deposit on a metal component. The electroplating is conducted with high current efficiency at room temperature. An electroplating procedure is also disclosed in this invention. From the proposed electroplating solution, a leveling and brightening chromium-nickel deposit can be easily achieved. Furthermore, chromium-nickel deposits with different ratios of chromium and nickel concentrations could be obtained by varying electroplating current density. Both decorative and hard chromium-based deposits could be achieved from the proposed trivalent chromium-based electroplating solution.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]The chromium-nickel alloys have been widely used in application owing to its superior mechanical properties and co...
