Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment, and in particular relates to a rare earth electrolytic protection solution for plating and an electrolytic protection process. Background Art
[0002] Entering the 21st century, the application of trivalent chromium electroplating has accelerated, and it is mainly used to prepare decorative chrome plating for hardware and electronic accessories. Trivalent chromium plating includes two systems: sulfate trivalent chromium plating and chloride trivalent chromium plating. The prepared coatings include trivalent chromium white chromium plating and trivalent chromium black chromium plating. The trivalent chromium plating layer can only improve its corrosion resistance after post-treatment protection. If it is not post-treated and protected, the surface of the trivalent chromium plating layer cannot form a dense oxide film, and its corrosion resistance is low, and it will lose its luster in the natural environment. In the early days of trivalent chromium plating, the industry used dichromate electrolysis to implement electrolytic protection of the plating layer. Later, post-treatment protection methods such as sealant sealing were developed, but the corrosion resistance and anti-discoloration ability of the sealing method were not ideal. Bright nickel plating process is also widely used in the preparation of surface coatings for hardware and electronic accessories. In the past, chromic acid passivation method and dichromate electrolytic protection method were used to form a protective film on the bright nickel plating layer to improve the corrosion resistance and anti-discoloration ability of the plating layer. However, the use of hexavalent chromium has been subject to increasingly stringent restrictions, and there is a need to develop environmentally friendly post-treatment protection processes for plating to replace hexavalent chromium post-treatment protection.
