Benefits of technology

[0010][1] A zincate zinc plating bath for depositing a metal containing at least zinc to form a zinc plating film by using electroplating, containing a primary brightener having a function of reducing the size of crystals of the metal thus deposited and a plating accelerator containing a heterocyclic compound represented by the following chemical formula (I):
[0024]The zincate zinc plating bath of the present invention enables efficient formation of a zinc plating film. Described specifically, it exhibits a high plating efficiency and a high throwing power when electroplating is performed at a low current density. In addition, when electroplating is performed at a wide range of current densities including a low current density (from 0.05 to 1.0 A / dm2), the zincate zinc plating bath of the present invention exhibits highly uniform electrodeposition and enables the formation of a thick zinc plating film mainly by improving the plating efficiency at a low current density. Further, the zincate zinc plating bath of the present invention enables the formation of a zinc plating film with high brightness and high qualities when it contains a water soluble cationic macromolecular compound (represented by the below-described chemical formula (III)) having a specific structure as the primary brightener and contains also a secondary brightener.

Problems solved by technology

When the plating efficiency is enhanced, the conventionally known zincate zinc plating bath has problems such as deterioration in uniform electrodeposition and throwing power.

Abstract

To provide a zincate zinc plating bath capable of efficiently forming a zinc plating film with high brightness and high qualities even at a low current density. The zincate zinc plating bath is used in electroplating for depositing a metal containing at least zinc and forming a zinc plating film. It contains a primary brightener having a function of reducing the size crystals of the metal to be deposited and a plating accelerator containing a heterocyclic compound having a predetermined structure such as 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a zincate zinc plating bath used for forming a zinc plating film on automotive steel plates, bolts, nuts, and the like by using electroplating.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Zinc plating films have been used widely for various ordinary things including automotive steel sheets and mechanical parts formed of a steel material such as bolts and nuts for the improvement of corrosion resistance. Zinc alloy plating films made of, for example, zinc-nickel alloy, zinc-iron alloy, or tin-zinc alloy have also been used widely to satisfy demands for the improvement of heat resistance or salt water resistance.[0003]Zinc plating films are formed using electroplating which is performed by supplying an electric current while dipping a material to be plated in a plating bath, and thereby electrifying the material to be plated. Plating baths for forming a zinc plating film can be roughly classified into an alkaline bath and an acid bath. Examples of the alka...
