Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment, and in particular relates to a gun black tin-nickel alloy electroplating and electrolytic protection process. Background Art
[0002] Gunmetal black tin-nickel alloy coatings offer an elegant appearance and excellent wear resistance, primarily used for decorative coatings on hardware, electronics, and firearms accessories. Previously, dichromate electrolytic protection was commonly used to enhance the corrosion resistance of the coating. However, the use of hexavalent chromium has become increasingly restricted, leading to the development of environmentally friendly post-treatment processes for gunmetal black tin-nickel alloy coatings.
[0003] Traditional gunmetal black tin-nickel alloy coatings contain only tin and nickel, along with other ingredients such as a sulfur blackening agent. Due to the sulfur content, gunmetal black tin-nickel alloy coatings exhibit significantly lower corrosion resistance than silvery-white tin-nickel alloy coatings. Neutral salt spray testing, conducted in accordance with GB / T 10125–2021, "Artificial Atmosphere Corrosion Tests: Salt Spray Test," currently requires that gunmetal black tin-nickel alloy-plated parts remain rust-free for 48 hours. However, production practice demonstrates that gunmetal black tin-nickel alloy-plated parts produced using existing technology typically fail the 48-hour neutral salt spray test without post-treatment protection.
