AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a plating film with high durability and reliability and a method to make it. The plating film has a metal component and a compound with certain functions mixed together. This mixing makes the compound spread evenly, which makes the plating more durable. This also improves the consistency and reliability of the plated product's characteristics.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the plating film formed by any of the methods in the PTLs 1 and 2, distribution of particles in the plating film is easily biased due to difference in specific gravity between the plating film and the microparticles having functionality.
Accordingly, there are issues of occurrence of film peeling and a crack due to temperature change, and occurrence of unevenness in expression of the functionality in the plating film.

1. Embodiment

1-1. Structure of Plating Film

[0022]FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a sectional structure of a plating film (a plating film 10) according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The plating film 10 is formed of a metal (a plating metal 11) and a compound having functionality (a functional compound 12), and provides a function of water repellency, oil repellency, lubricity, or the like to an object to be plated such as a metal product and a metal component. In the present embodiment, for example, the plating film 10 may be formed, by non-aqueous plating, in a state where the plating metal 11 and the functional compound 12 are homogeneously dispersed as illustrated in FIG. 1. Here, homogeneous indicates a state in which the functional compound 12 is uniformly distributed without deviation in an in-plane direction and a film thickness direction of...

2. Application Examples

[0055]The plating film 10 described in the above-described embodiment is applicable to various kinds of plated products. Specifically, the plating film 10 may be applicable to, for example, a metal product, a metal component, a gear, a bearing, an edge of a skate, a ski board, a snowboard, and the like. As a result, rust-proof function, lubricity, and the like are imparted to the above-described products. In addition, it is possible to impart corrosion resistance and acid resistance of metal against corrosive gas, etc.

[0056]Further, for example, it is possible to prevent adhesion of barnacles to seawater suction port of an electric generation plant, ship bottom, or the like, to facilitate demolding of a resin molded product from a mold, and to make adhered substance hard to remain to a blade. Alternatively, it becomes possible to use the plating film 10 in prevention of residue in a nozzle that discharges viscous liquid such as an adhesive, in control of fluid...

example 1

[0059]For example, 100 g of tin chloride (the metallic salt of the plating metal 11) was dissolved in 300 ml of 4-butyrolactone (the plating solvent) to prepare the plating solution R. The plating solution was placed in Hull cell tester (trademark; Yamamoto-MS Co., Ltd.) that was made of glass and was attached with the anode electrode 32 and the cathode electrode 33 as illustrated in FIG. 3A, and the plating solution was maintained at temperature of 70° C. while being stirred with a rotor. Here, the plating metal and the metal to be plated were used as is as the anode electrode and the cathode electrode, respectively. In this state, the AC voltage that had the AC waveform illustrated in FIG. 4 and whose parameters were set to those in voltage condition 1 was applied to perform the plating operation. As a result, the plating film 10 (Example 1-1) was obtained. Besides, the plating films 10 in respective Examples 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4 were obtained with use of similar procedure. Condition...

Abstract

There are provided a plating film having high durability and high reliability, a method of manufacturing the plating film, and a plated product using the plating film. The plating film according to the disclosure is formed with use of a solvent in which a metallic salt is dissolved and a compound having functionality is dissolved or colloidally dispersed, and the metal and the compound having the functionality are homogenously dispersed and joined.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to a plating film formed by electrolytic plating, to a method of manufacturing the plating film, and to a plated product using the plating film.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In a component, a mechanical component, and the like of an electronic apparatus and a communication apparatus, metal plating is used as surface treatment in order to improve abrasion resistance and to reduce contact electric resistance. In recent years, a so-called functional plating film has been developed in which functionality such as water repellency, oil repellency, and lubricity is provided to a plating film formed by the metal plating.[0003]A method of providing the above-described functionality to a plating film has been in practical use in surface treatment for a heating part of an electric iron, scissors for mowing. The method is called composite plating in which microparticles (normally, each having a particle diameter of 0.03 to 5 μm) having functionality tha...
